A lot of progress, the good kind, this week. Got the dx letter from his neurologist, plus she filled out the VA ALS diagnostic questionnaire. Scanned lots of documents. And most importantly, got connected with the PVA today and sent them the form to handle his case with VA. A lot of resources are going to be available for him, apparently. Equipment, provided. Home care services if/when needed, provided. Support benefits money, provided. The takeaway message was “he will be well taken care of”.
This man raised my wife, clearly pretty well, and he doesn’t have any other kids…so any way I can help I’m happy to do. Odd how nobody at Kaiser put together the Veteran and ALS situations and got us started a month ago…?!
