I am a dedicated Christian mother of 2 children (boy - 19 yrs girl - 16 yrs) and married for 20 yrs. I am positive about life although ALS has broken my body down to a struggling mess. I have a wonderful supporting family and great friends. I attend gim 3 times a week. I have a feeding tube but can still have thick fluids by mouth. A friend of mine started a fundraising to buy me an electronic speech instrument.
