    My daddy got bulbar ALS - and a question about Nuedexta...

    Until two weeks ago we were hopeful that it was 'only' a progressive bulbar palsy. But no, it's ALS - he's been diagnozed about a year after his first symptoms.

    Kathy is leaving us.

    My heart is breaking. Hospice was a disaster. They wanted to take her Trilogy, suction and nuedexta. I couldn't let that happen, as those are comfort items for her, imo, so I sent them away and started to look for another group that would keep the trilogy. She aspirated yesterday while...
