My brother was diagnosed with ALS the week before Christmas. By the time he was diagnosed he was losing control of his tongue and he had laryngeal paralysis. Now, just two months later, he is losing control of his breathing muscles. He went into partial respiratory arrest last night! THIS CAN NOT BE HAPPENING! IT'S TOO SOON AND TOO FAST! I don't know how to deal with this. My brother and I have been inseparable our entire lives (he is 43 i am 44). We have always done everything together. People used to think he was my husband because he would go to my child's open houses at school with me because my husband was working. We go on vacations together, we play games at each others homes on the weekends. I CAN'T DO THIS! I CAN'T DEAL WITH LOSING MY BROTHER! NOT THIS FAST! PLEASE LORD HELP ME! I LOVE HIM SO MUCH! HE'S LIKE MY TWIN! PLEASE PLEASE SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME HANDLE THIS!
I'm so sorry. I sound like such a baby.......but I honestly don't know how I'm going to deal with this. He is so scared and I am so helpless and it's happening so terribly fast. we thought at least a couple of years.......i wanted to take him to England because he's always wanted to go.........but he is going down so fast.......PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE LORD, DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN TO HIM! PLEASE I NEED HIM HERE! I just can't imagine my life without him.
