Hi Everyone,
I guess I’m just grasping for straws here but when my dad was diagnosed with limb onset als he was progressing rather slowly. His breathing was great and he was still walking. Fast forward to the last three or four months and he has gotten drastically worse. He can’t move most of his body parts, his breathing is very laboured and you can barely hear him. He is still eating but it is difficult because of the breathing. He went in for a g tube but after a week in the hospital they decided he wasn’t a candidate because his colon was in the way. I guess I’m just wondering if the progression can taper off or does it continue like this once it speeds up.
