I'm very sorry that you have to go thru this, my husband just passed Jan 21 09 from M.G. We were married. For 45 yrs. when we were not in the hospital I would take care of him at home this was on and off for the last 5 yrs. he spent the last 2 months of his life on a vent , I'm going thru a very hard time missing him he was a wonderful husband and daddy, reading your mail is very painful taking me back to when Fred was struggling so hard . My prayers are with you God Bless You ' would like to keep up with how you are getting along.
I’m With You
