Dad not well

Your dad and Aunt will be in my prayers. He will surely need the support of all his family, and we'll be praying for him here on PT. I hope this doesn't sound weird - but when my mother had cancer, I realized that one of the hidden "blessings" of a terminal illness is that you know what time you have together is so very precious, and you can say everything that needs to be said. Sometimes we act like we have forever, and don't get around to saying how much we love and appreciate each other.

Barry, I know you and your family are so worried right now, but you need to take each day as it comes and love your dad and care for him in a positive way. Boy is that a hard thing with such an illness.

I know that Karen will be able to shed some light on what to expect with the Lou Gehrig's disease since her mother had the same thing.

Hang in there, my friend. We are all thinking of you and praying for your father.
