Please say a prayer for my dad, Mike, for good news at his doctors appointment this week at USC. He is going here because our family doctor has suggested that he gets his shoulder checked out for a pinched nerve. He does not believe my dad has ALS. Our most recent visit to the ALS specialist, she said that she thinks he will be okay, and if it is ALS then it is a very slow progressing one. He has no further signs or symptoms, only the muscle loss in his left hand that he has had for over a year now. Please say a prayer that the doctor finds what is wrong with my dad, and that it is NOT ALS! Please. I pray for him everynight, and the power of prayer will heal him! God Bless you all.
