Hi Kim, Thanks for the prayers! I feel as though I am in circle of prayers, coming and going, my prayers to you in your journey! Yes, my husband was diagnosed five years ago with limb onset ALS. He has been in a power wheelchair for about four years. He is in the latter stages of this disease, but you wouldn't know it! He still eats the food he likes, s-l-o-w-l-y. I don't mind, I'm glad he enjoys it. Although he eats less and has lost weight over the last year. He has an eye gaze computer that has given him his freedom to read books, connect with friends through email and text and pick out movies for us on netflix! and a number of other things as well. It is very hard to watch a parent suffer with disease. If I can be of any help with questions you may have regarding your father, please feel free to pick my brain! I will let you know what I know or how we handled something or where you might find the answers you need. Or if you just want to talk. God Bless.
