I will admit that I wasn’t sure how I felt about Kevin starting this blog about living with ALS. I’m a very private person and Kevin has pretty much shared everything about the progression of the disease. Though it is hard for me to read, I know it’s been a good thing for Kevin to do. He is very matter of fact about this so I’ve had to encourage him to “happy it up” on some of his posts so it’s not so depressing for everyone to read, including me.
When this whole situation started, we knew quickly that there
was a high likelihood of Kevin having ALS.
Still, it was so hard to wrap my brain around. How could something like this happen to
Kevin? Healthiest person I know. But time passed with more symptoms and more
adjustments in our lives and there was no denying it. It has been about a year and 8 months since
the symptoms started and I am amazed that we’ve gotten through this so
far. Kevin has been amazing throughout
all of this. He has accepted it with no anger
or feeling sorry for himself.
I have accepted it too, though it’s broken my heart. Early on when the doctors were testing for
other diseases that, though terrible too, were not as bad as ALS, we prayed for
a miracle that he would not have ALS.
But he did have it. Some would
say that my prayers were not answered and wonder if I was mad at God or had
lost faith. The answer is “no” because the
miracles did happen and the blessings continue daily.
The biggest miracle is that we have been able to accept this
challenge gracefully and even thankfully.
The miracles include the love and concern of so many people; their constant
prayers, calls, cards, meals, visits, gifts, messages, cute posters left on the
front door saying “we love you Kevin,” emails, an amazing neighbor who shoveled
our 3 car driveway each time it snowed all winter (sometimes multiple times in
a day,) a neighbor (with a broken foot) and his son who hung our Christmas
lights (nice and straight the way I love them,) cute balloons, an amazing original oil portrait
of Kevin and me, the continued love of Kevin's work friends, the friendship of Kevin's school buddies, the youth in our church ward doing yard work, cartons of
Haagen Daaz ice cream when Kevin could eat it, priesthood blessings for both of
us, wonderful supportive and kind medical people including the doctors and
specialists at the U of U ALS clinic, sweet Kenya our cute friend who makes sure we get the room next to her desk at ALS clinic, the wonderful people at the MDA, the kind
person that set up and continues to monitor Kevin’s bi-pap machine, the love of Violet Crawley, the Dowager Countess of Grantham from Downton Abbey, the
friendship and support of all of our new friends who also have ALS and on and
on the blessings continue.
I want you to know that though I am so sad that this disease
has changed Kevin’s life, I am still happy.
I have the love and blessings of my dear Lord, the love of my sweet
Kevin, the love of our children and family, the love of so many friends and my
understanding of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Kevin is my eternal husband and my best buddy.

DeleteI Am Jessica, I want to quickly write on a Powerful herbal cure doctor, who is well known around the world for his cures and help to humanity, This man helped me when i had the Lou Gehrig’s Disease ( ALS ). i and my family tried all possible best some few years back to get a cure for my dying husband who was also an ALS victim, but all our efforts came to nothing on a Friday night when we lost him to death. The same virus came on me some 3 months after the death of my husband, i tried all i could untill i came in contact with DR Camala in 14-6-2014. I went to collect my weekly treatment on the hospital which Dr Camala was invited to inspect some patients, i was upportuned to be inspected by him on his own free will. After the inspection, he gave me his Emails:( dr.camalahivaidscure@yahoo.com ) and his mobile number and ask my eldest son to help me get to him which we really did. We emailed him and he got back to us, in just 3 days of negotiations he sent me some herbal cure medicine and instructed me on how to take them. i remember taken the medicine for just 2 weeks, then i started receiving results. I am happy to say now that for the pass 1 year i have had no symptoms of the sickness and i have been totally and finally cured of ALS with no trace of the virus in my body ( laboratory scan and medical doctors checkup has reveled so) Am so happy and i want to thank Dr Camala for his help on me. i want whoever that is also with this virus to get the quickest and most assured cure immediately through the help of Dr.Camala on

As a sign of gratitude for how my husband was saved from ALS, i decided to reach out to those still suffering from this.
ReplyDeleteMy husband was diagnosed of ALS in 2013 and it was really tough and heartbreaking for me because he was my all and the symptoms were terrible, he always have trouble swallowing , and he always complain of Weakness of the body . we tried various therapies prescribed by our neurologist but none could cure him. I searched for a cure and i saw a testimony by someone who was cured and so many other with similar body problem, and he left the contact of the doctor who had the cure to ALS. I never imagined ALS has a natural cure not until i contacted him and he assured me my husband will be fine. I got the herbal medication he recommended and my husband used it and in one months he was fully okay even up till this moment he is so full of life. ALS has a cure and it is a herbal cure contact the doctor for more info on drwilliams098675@gmail.com on how to get the medication. Thanks for reading my testimony.
I am bold enough among many others to state that there is now a potent cure to this sickness but many are unaware of it. I discovered that I was infected with the virus 3 months ago, after a medical check-up. My doctor told me and I was shocked, confused and felt like my world has crumbled. I was dying slowly due to the announcement of my medical practitioner but he assured me that I could leave a normal life if I took my medications (as there was no medically known cure to Herpes). I went from churches to churches but soon found that my case needed urgent attention as I was growing lean due to fear of dying anytime soon. In a bid to look for a lasting solution to my predicament, I sought for solutions from the herbal world. I went online and searched for every powerful trado-medical practitioner that I could severe, cos I heard that the African Herbs had a cure to the Herpes syndrome. It was after a little time searching the web that I came across one Dr Itua(A powerful African Herbal Doctor), who offered to help me at a monetary fee. I had to comply as this was my final bus-stop to receiving a perfect healing. My last resolve was to take my life by myself, should this plan fail. At last it worked out well. He gave me some steps to follow and I meticulously carried out all his instructions. Last month, to be precise, I went back to the hospital to conduct another test and to my amazement, the results showed that negative,Dr Itua Can As Well Cure The Following Desease…Cancer,Hiv,Herpes, Hepatitis B,Liver Inflammatory,Diabetis,Fribroid,,Non Hodgkin Lymphoma,Skin Cancer,Uterine Cancer,Prostate Cancer Dercum,Infertility,fibromyalgia,Get Your Ex Back,Als,SYPHILLIS,Genetic disease,Epilepsy, Parkinson's disease..You can free yourself of this Herpes virus by consulting this great African Herbal Doctor via this e-mail: drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com or call and whatsapp him on +2348149277967 He will help you and his herb medication is sure. he has the cure on all disease .You can talk to me on INSTAGRAM..tashamoore219....
