Hi My 87 yr old father has recently been diaganosed with bulbar als. At the present time we have not given Dad a name to his disease. He has been told this is a progressive disease and symtoms will only get worse. His speech is very slurred. He is now eating pureed meals. I feel like I don't know what to do next. He is extreamly intellegent and I can't believe he hasn't figured itn out. He is on the computer every day and is a Ham Radio operater. He is having difficulty having bowel movements. He takes stool softeners and laxatives and somedays no luck. I really need someone to talk to. Thanks for listening
