Rejoicing

On Saturday, my PALS`completed the 2nd year of living after Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis was made official to us on April 21, 2010.

Oh my goodness ~~~~ TWO YEARS OF LIVING. I think about adaptations we have made both physically and emotionally to our lives and I am overcome with emotion. While his freedom of movement and or mobility has certainly been diminished (HE IS IN A POWER WHEEL CHAIR) along with the muscle weakness limiting his ability to accomplish everyday activities, we continue to live each day as it were the last.

We look to researchers with a sense of hope as new therapy develops and technology contributes to the increase in life expectancy for our loved ones with this most humbling of diseases.

Many thanks. Good thoughts for you on the 27th of this month, also. April 2010 must have been quite a month for neurologists all over the country, delivering this news.
