hi i wanted to stop and say hi, my mom also was diagnosed with ALS in 9/2011, she can walk and use her arms as normal what she cant do is talk and she is having lots of trouble swallowing...i see that u said they were going to do surgery to your mom to install the peg, thats the tube to feed her correct, how is she taking it, i dont want to think when i have to get to that point, my mom is 72 years old, but she has always been so independent , she doesnt know exactly what this disease is, and i will walk with her through this day by day, but i cant tell her because the depression will kill her before the disease will....
well if you ever just want to vent, i am here..thanks for listening...hope your mom gets better...
