Mother in-law died from ALS and now father in-law has ALS

Just wanted to tell a a little about this terrible thing called ALS My mother in-law passed away a year ago in October. I suffered with it for about 2.5 years. She was my best friend. I miss her so. My father in-law took care of her 24-7. He didn’t want help. He wanted to take care of her himself. Of course we all helped with caring for her but he was the one who stayed with all of the time. What a man. Toward the end hospice came in to give us a hand. But they didn’t not stay there. They just came in to came her medicines to try to make her comfortable.

BUT now right after she passed away my father in-law’s he started having trouble talking. Now he can not talk and has trouble with drooling and can not eat without it going into his lungs. And also having trouble walking. He has all kinds of tests done. NOW they say he has Progressive Bulbar Palsy(ALS). We can’t believe this is happening again. Someone PLEASE find a CURE!!!
