Thanks, Lisa. Wally is doing well considering. Arms and legs not working, eating pureed food, using bi-pap and oxygen concentrator. Since using the bi-pap and enemeez for severe constipation he is much improved--really much more comfortable than he was a year ago. He has been using the computer for long periods and asked his Dad to take him to the ocean. His Dad spent the entire summer modifying our 20 year old camper and we went to Schoodic in Maine for about 10 days--actually traveling took 5 days. He seemed very content and happy to be there and see the ocean. Wally probably started with ALS symptoms (hands) around 1997/98 and was dx'd in September 2002. I suppose that he is somewhat a slow progressor.
