Hi! Gary Mathis told me about your blog! I just wanted to write and encourage you as ya'll face the forks in the road. My mom passed from ALS in 2004. I wrote about all of the experiences my mom went through and feel the Lord wants me to get it published. Until then, I have been putting it on my blog to help others. On today's blog, I also wrote about major changes such as a trach and feeding tube for Mom. You are right that those are major decisions that are not easy to make!
