Amazing new information on what causes ALS!!!! Also a short video clip. http://www.northwestern.edu/newscenter/stories/2011/08/siddique-als-breakthrough.html
In posting this I am aware that this is coming too late to help my late husband and dear friends who have lost their loved ones to ALS. The hope is that in the near future no other families will have to endure the ravages of this disease. A cure is on the way!!! Thank you God for all the dedicated men, woman and children who had a part in all of this in their own unique way of contributing!
I am sure Ricki, Brian C, Bill G, Phil W, Ken S, Brian M, are all rejoicing about now that something is happening in finding a cure for this disease. Us wives are missing you guys down here big time!!!!!
Welcome
This blog is about a new walk with my husband Rick & I since he was diagnosed with ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) or Lou Gehrig's Disease or MND (Motor Neuron Disease) on February 1, 2008.
This blog was started as a way to keep our family and friends and anyone else interested in our battle with ALS updated.
So as you read this blog please keep us in your hearts and prayers.
The blog starts from the most current to the oldest entry. Rick has started to blog now also as of April 1,2008 so this site has become officially "our blog".
My dearest husband Rick passed away on August 13, 2010,
2 1/2 yrs after diagnosis. Now I have to learn how to walk in the courage, strength and bravery that he did in fighting this disease. He promised me he would be waiting for me in eternity on a park bench. Together Forever!
