About Me
I was diagnosed in May of this year(08). 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 18 down to 8 years. The oldest is Bama bound this month to attend college. We are taking one day at a time and spending as much time as possible as a family.
