Sail, a whole lot of ~ma to your friend, her brother and her family. ALS is an evil diagnosis. I hope they have a lot of support around them.
They have had. Both Tim and his 3rd brother take turns spending the night with the sick brother, while their parents spend the day with him. They've had home nurses and he's now in a hospice, but has asked to be sent home so he can die there. I just feel so very terrible for Tim, having had to watch people in my family die. It's a shame to have to watch someone go like that.
It's a terrible thing, Sail, but it sounds like they are handling it as well as anybody could.
Rhut r'oh.
Well, she's ready for the F2F.
::sigh::
They have had.
I'm glad to hear that. No one should try to go it alone when faced with this. Are they hooked into some of the ALS support groups? My DH's relatives have found many good people there to help them cope.
Sail, good thoughts and vibes heading their direction.
Emeline got a candy necklace at daycare.
Huh. Between the naughty worm and the candy necklace, Em's already way more knowledgeable than I was when I was TWENTY! Hardly seems fair.
Naughty Worm is still missing.
Um...
No. I don't think I even want to speculate about who might have snagged naughty worm away from Em.
Robin, no, I hadn't seen that. For a wonk-wannabee spend very little time on Washington Post.com.
Makes good sense for the most part, though, that article does.
