About Me
I was diagnosed in May of 2008. My first symptoms were slurred speech and emotional liability (uncontrolled laughter). I am married to my soul mate and we have 4 children. The ages of our children range from 19 down to 9 years. I have two children in college, one at Bama and one at UAH. We are taking one day at a time and spending as much time as possible as a family.
