    Thinking of you. You are in my prayers. How are your kids doing? My dad is kind of in the middle of the road I'd say in his progression. He's 78 though so not one of the young one's to have this. We are anxious for spring to get here so hopefully we can get him out a little more. We have been trying to be cautious to with him during flu season so he doesn't catch anything from anyone. Take care of yourself, Kim

    Hi! How are things going for you? Trying to get things ready for Christmas. My father who has ALS and is 78 is back staying at his home now which is about a mile from mine. He was in Dallas for awhile where my brother and sister live. It was so hard on me since I missed him so much. Dad progression is so/so. He is starting to lose alot of strength in his arms and hands now. But, he still eats on his own and can still talk. Keeping you in my prayers. Take care, Kim

    I know you are scared, heck I am too! I lost my kidd's daddy when I was 39 to melanoma cancer, it was a bad cancer, and I'm going to tell you. What kept me going when he passed was my kids! Somehow we always make it. You are going to be alot stronger than you realize. Just remember we are all here for each other:)

    We had insurance coverage when I applied, it just would not pay any on the rulitek. Medicare starts one month before his disability. All you can do is apply for assistance, we had to send copies of checking, and different things. They will tell you exaclty what info they need. My husband started out with bulbar which was his speech, and swallowing. So far those are still the only two affected. First signs we seen were in april of last year. His speech is getting pretty bad fast. If he is tired, he is very hard to understand. It sucks!

    You know we are keeping our Blue cross blue shield along with his medicare, which his starts the first of next month on medicare, and disability starts the 3rd week of april. It is very hard trying to make it on one income and wait for that disability to start. Ok on the rulitek, our ins would not pay any on it, so i filled out a long form for patient assistance ane he was accepted. I think most every one is. We will get a years supply and go from there. Go online to NORD and look at it. I hope you can get some help.
