Hello

[Osheanna]

hi,

All of this is very new to me. I just found out 2 days ago that my father has ALS. I am very scared and worried all at the same time. I have been doing a lot of research and have learned many new things about this horrible disease. I was very happy to find this site. I think that it will provide me with a lot of support that I will need. I'll be keeping in touch. You are all in my prayers.
Kim

hi kim.

I am so sorry to here about your dad. My dad also has ALS, he was diagnosed a couple of months ago, but has quickly gone down hill. How is your dad doing? It's a scary thing for everyone to deal with, so hang in there. :wink:

Hi Kim,

Welcome. I'm very sorry to hear about your dad. You've taken a big positive step by coming here. I found that learning as much as you can about ALS does help. I hear support groups are good although I'm pretty new at that. One place that I visit daily is http://www.alsindependence.com it is run by a gentleman named George Goodwin who has ALS. They have on-line support group meetings twice a week.

Hang in there.
