OT Gail

Hello Friends,

Gail was diagnosed with ALS today "Lou Gehrigs Disease". It has been a
rough week. The doctor said the coming years will not be pretty and to
start making plans soon for assistance.

We also found out the same week that our daughter's cancer has returned
after being cancer free for 2 years.

Gail is in the Rehab Institute of Chicago for the next 3 to 4 weeks for
rehab and training on how to get along.

I am still working on items for the homeless in our area.

Hugs & God bless,
Dennis & Gail

Oh Dennis, I am so very sorry. You and your family have had a really rough
week.

Please know that you and Gail and your daughter will be in my prayers.

Oh, Dennis *******HUGS (those are sisterly, "one arm around the
shoulder while standing right next to you" hugs)

My little sister's FIL had a good 15 years or so after he was diagnosed
-- he hit a point and then just sort of stabilized for a loooong time.
He was far more blessed than people who were diagnosed 20 or 30 years
ago -- they set him up with a computer and taught him how to use it with
his best-controlled muscle, one knee. He wrote his autobiography,
corresponded with all his family all over the country, including his
grandchildren, by email, sent cute emails to all his friends (normally I
get tired of them, but this was his life, you know?), consulted with me
on learning Word Perfect 9 or 10, and had a reasonably full life for a
loooong time.

The one thing they did that they think helped was dietary stuff -- not
sure about all of it, but avoiding MSG like the plague is the one I
remember best (probably avoiding Nutrasweet would be a good idea, too).

I hope you find a good doctor at a good teaching hospital that you can
rely on -- it makes a world of difference.

You and Gail will be in my prayers.

Dennis - I am so sorry to read this. You and Gail will be in my
thoughts. My partner hopefully is going to rehab this week and I'll
think of you as I find out the tools she's given.

Dennis,

My prayers are going out to Gail and your daugther and to you too.
You'll have to keep those spirits high for both of them. You also know
that I'm here if you need to talk.

Hugs,
