Lyle was diagnosed with ALS eighteen months ago. Within six months he needed a walker to get around; two months later he was confined to a wheel chair. And just a few month’s ago he became bed ridden. Like many other ALS patients, Lyle lost the use of his legs within the first two years of onset….just like the stats say. Lyle’s condition has progressed very aggressively right from the beginning – leaving no time to adapt to the on-going changes in his mobility and his daily life. This is the worst type of ALS – one that never slows down, or shows any mercy. The worst part of it all – there is nothing we can do to stop it. This is a very sad personal story of a young man in his prime, who’s life is being taken away; and for our family it means losing a wonderful husband and father, brother and son. It is truly the most difficult thing we have ever experienced. Read more
