What is ALS?- Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a motor neuron disease, first identified in 1869 by the noted French neurologist Jean-Martin Charcot. Although the cause of ALS is not completely understood, recent years have brought a wealth of new scientific understanding about the physiology of this disease.He found out about a year ago that he had this disease and now he is at the brink of death. Basically, the muscles in his body are giving up and will continue till his heart muscle doesn't work anymore. Mentally though he is as bright as day, he could carry a normal conversation if he could still talk. He has a blog that his daughter helps him keep up. The faith of this man and his family is an amazing gift from God. The struggles they deal with everyday doesn't seem to be as important as them being able to proclaim the love and faithfulness of the Lord to His people. This is him and his family... he has 3 children (an their spouses) and 11 grandchildren.
