May 2011 5 months after definitive diagnosis read on... how did we get to the point where Don is under the hospice wings of care? I cannot remember how this happened I just know that one day hospice came to our home after Don's peg tube surgery and a lovely nurse named Michelle came to see us and her natural nursing instincts told her there was a need and so she made sure Don was going to be looked out for. After Michelle talked with us she said "I want to talk to the director of Hospice care here in Keene NH and tell him about your case", the director found out how fast Don's ALS was moving and made a decision to book Don into the loving care of Hospice, does this mean Don will die soon? NO it does not, what it means is that we have SUPPORT for a terminal illness and now that Don is under the hospice wings of love if he needs them they will be there for him 24/7, what an amazing supportive team of people the hospice nurses are, we are thankful for them and their wise wisdom.
