This is going to seem very strange. It has been absolutely mindboggling for my family and I.
My father has been diagnosed with ALS for almost 16 months now. He has been on bipap for a year. He can only take it off for very small intervals. He spends most of his time in bed but do manage to get to his chair for small periods with some help.
Yesterday my father awoke feeling very well. He said he is "getting better". He stood up on his own (although shaky) and even turned off his bipap machine himself without any help. He ate his supper last night without help (he always needed assistance before). He asked my mother and I if we believed in miracles because he was going to beat this disease. He keeps off his bipap machine for 20 - 40 minute intervals. Our GP came to visit today and said that this is something he just can't explain. My Dad has always been somewhat of a "spiritual" man but now says that he wants me to go to church with him next month because by then he will be able to go. My heart wants to believe that he is getting better but my brain tells me that it is impossible.
.......just wondering if anyone had any sort of reason or explanation for this.
Thanks
