Here is an update on my Dad.he had an appointment with another doctor yesterday and there was some encouraging news.Dad's blood has been out of whack,so this might be the problem and not Lou Gehrig's.This doctor found it odd that this disease went from his lower legs to his voice.We know somebody else who has a similar problem and this doesn't happen with him.The drug that I found online wil help but will cost $800 a month,insurance covering most of it,we may have to pay $100 a month.He has to go back to the doctor on January 8th and 11th,so we will know more then.
