joined earlier this year but never said hello

[kylisa]

Hi, I'm kylisa. My mother was diagnosed in Feb 08. She began having major problems in June 07. Now, she is almost bedridden, fully fed through a peg, has no voice, and has lost the majority of use of her left arm and hand. She is bulbar now with laughing and crying spells. I pray everyday that the Lord will not let her suffer too bad for too long. She has been a real trooper through this terrible disease.

welcome kylisa,
I'm glad you found us, and sorry all at the same time. Hopefully, you will find a lot of support and friendship on here, it's a great bunch of folks!
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your mother,
Never give up,
Never let up,
Never lose faith,
brenda
