My husband was diagnosed w/ ALS Oct of 2007. He is unable to walk, or feed him self any longer. We are still waiting on his wheel chair, and are borrowing one until then. We do not have a van yet as we are waiting on his chair, and not sure we can afford one.
My husband is trying the Lithium treatment and has been for a little over a month now. During this treatment there has to be blood work taken to test for his lithium levels. It is almost impossible for me to get him to the dr's office or our local hospital to get his blood work completed now. I emailed his ALS clinic in Indianapolis and asked if a home health nurse could come to our home and take the blood for him. They said they would have to check into this and would get back to me. I was wondering is what I asked for an unusual request?
