the other analogy is the cellphone. sometimes you are in a good cell and reception is great. sometimes the call drops Same with MS sometimes the connection is good.other times not so good

hope this helps

Thank you. These are great ideas! I do not want to tell my grandson that "grandma is broken" or that "grandma's body is attacking itself" . . . these are too scary. Now that you have shared these, I can probably think of many other analogies that would work in different situations.
