Dad's two month check up

Please pray that my Dad's doctors appointment goes well on Wednesday. He goes to get a check up and see if there has been any progression of his illness. (ALS; lou Gehrig's disease). He has been limping a little and I am worried the illness is to blame. Other then that, his left hand is still very bad, and his right is just starting to lose muscle. Please pray he hasn't progressed in this short amount of time. Please pray for Mike. I know God heard me, but I believe prayer in numbers.

Thank you all

RE: Dad's two month check up

Thank you. I just called to see how their dinner was and my mom said they had a "scare" and that dad said he was talking out of one side of his mouth for a bit. She even suspected a stroke. They said that ALS is on their brain 24/7. I hope that it is just their nerves and how worried they are about Wednesday and that nothing really happened to my dad's mouth. Cause that would be the worst possible outcome of the doctors appt. Please pray that his appt goes well and that he didnt progress much (OR ANY!) in these two months. I am so worried, but I know that I just need to continue to pray to God and He will lead us in the right path. I am just so scared!

Mom said today he is acting like his jaw is stiff. They are both so scared and are praying that his progression hasn't sped up randomly. It shouldn't go from his arm to his mouth before the other limbs. I know God hears me and hears all our prayers. I stay strong knowing I have His love supporting us. Please continue in prayer. Tomorrow is the day, and I will update the news here. Thank you all.

RE: Dad's two month check up

Thank you for all the prayers for my Dad. The doctors appointment went well and said he had NO CHANGES! This is great news for us since ALS can be a very rapid disease. The doctor said his idles still very slow. His tight jaw, she believed is from the disease. We believe it's from anxiety. God has heard our prayers and I rejoice in his greatness! God is so good! We still have a long road ahead of us, but this brought some smiles to our faces.

RE: Dad's two month check up

His right hand has gotten worse. But I am remaining to think how blessed we are that his progression has remained slow. His right hand still is active so that is good. He even can lift his cell phone now with his left hand! This is crazy, because he hasnt been able to lift anything in over a year! So..even a small improvement is a huge improvement in my eyes. Please continue to pray that he gets better. I know this was a few months ago, but I just wanted to give an update for those who commented and prayed over my dad Smile. I am hoping his hand stops progressing.. I pray he gets on a trial next year where there have been proven patients that ALS has stopped completely! Pray pray pray! GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
