Do you or does someone you know have ALS? I have ALS, since 1996
How did you hear about this site? conifoster@comcast.net
Comments: I chose life with ALS it was an easy decision, but I knees the hardship, financial, emotional, responsibility, sacrifice, dependance on others for 24/7 care. It's not for everyone with ALS. I'm quadraplegic, have a feeding tube, tracheostomy, and on the ventilator much of the time. I am fortunately able to have 16 hours nursing care. I fought a hard battle with my health insurance company and won. Since then, that door was shut permanantly. ALS is perhaps the most expensive disease. I pay out of all my long term disability insurance and social security $96 a night for a private caregiver, every night. I have been able to watch my son who was 12 and my daughter who was 16 turn into adults, graduate from high school and college, and my daughter have a son. I'm still a Mom, Grandma, wife, sister, Aunt. I write (2 published books), travel (twice to Hawaii last year), organize all my care, train new caregivers and nurses, (I was a RN), maintain friendships, and inspire many to live rather than die of ALS. Keep fighting, don't give up. Hope for a cure, but realistically don't expect one. Love fiercely, live fully every moment. And appreciate all the love you have around and within you. Blessings, Coni Rainbow Foster

Comments: I'm not sure if I've signed your guestbook before, Aimee, but if not I apologize for not writing sooner. Last Saturday I found out my sis-in-law's mother has ALS. You know how tough this is to hear and her husband is in denial. I pray for you and for all others afflicted with this terribly unforgiving disease. Your attitude and perseverence are both remarkable and inspiring. Keep up the good fight!!

How did you hear about this site? Inspire
Comments: Aimee....thank you for sharing your story. My husband was diagnosed with ALS 2 yrs. ago (we actually say our family was diagnosed). We have three children also (Kiel-16, Blayke-11, Maycee-10). I feel just as you do that they are being robbed just as you are being robbed. Your story has touched my heart so deeply this morning. I will pray for you and your family as I pray for mine every day. This fight is not over. We are working hard with Congress and demanding they help us in this battle. "Never give up, Never give in" is our battle cry and we won't just take this disease laying down. May God bless you and your family in this battle!

How did you hear about this site? Via Facebook friends with Kelly Dobes
Comments: Aimee, Your webpage letter is so touching, and I can't help but empathize with you and your struggles. I know that no one can truly bring you answers to your troubling questions, at least no person that is. I pray that you know Jesus and that He is with you in this time of need. Maybe that sounds cliche' or devoid of meaning, but in the big picture it is all that any of us can hope for in our time of struggle. My time of struggle may not be this moment, but it is surely coming soon. I pray that I will take the same advice that I am giving you now when I face the kinds of challenges that you're facing - to lean not on your own understanding, but trust the Lord with all your heart. Proverbs 3:5

Comments: Aimee, you know too well what my best buddy Curt is going thru. Diagnosed a few months ago, he and his wife Leslie (and their three young kids) have had their life turned upside down. I just want you to know that you are making a difference. Leslie has mentioned you and your site to me many times. You are very special to her and I know are helping her get thru this. Thank you for helping others. I am putting together a web site and a benefit golf outing for their family. If you are interested, the site is: www.luttigfamily.org. But most of all, I just want you to know - you are helping others, and thank you!

How did you hear about this site? saw a bumper sticker on a car and was curious
Comments: I know this will sound far fetched and I hope someone gets this message! Most people in the US have not heard the real and true story about LYME disease but it CAN cause a myriad of other conditions believed to be the real thing ie. Lupus or MS but they are really caused by Lyme! My daughter has Lyme-Induced- Lupus and I have Lyme-Induced-Rheumatoid Arthritis. There is even a huge website dedicated to Lyme-Induced- Autism (LIA.org). We live in Fairfax, VA (don't know where you are) and have a great doctor that treats us holistically and with traditional medicine. She is an MD and Rheumatologist and treats both adults and children with all aspects of Lyme and she treats them successfully. If you would like more information about this check the above website I mentioned or email me: mellanspencer@gmail.com My very best wishes to you for a cure. Mellan

Comments: I just finished reading this 3-year-old article, and I looked up your web address to see how you are doing. I'm thankful you are still "fighting the good fight of faith", living each day to the glory of God. God's Words are life to those who find them AND health to all their flesh. Meditate day and night on what God says--read His Words (the New Testament) and then remind Him of His Promises to you. God likes to be reminded of what He said!

Get The Power of Now on audio, get comfortable, and listen and then listen again and again. It's incredible and could make your journey a little better. It has given me a new awareness of myself in this universe! With love, Sue

Comments: Aimee - Wonderful website. You are an inspiration!! I live and work in Washington, DC and I often credit your husband Jim for that. The first time I visited DC was while at IWU and I roomed with Jim and Doug Becker and one other person, maybe Jim Pfeiffer. I remember that I had a great time with Jim and that we never got a hot shower because Doug used all of the hot water every day... I have been donating to ALS research for years through the Combined Federal Campaign (a federal govt. version of the United Way) and this year, I will be donating more than ever before, totally due to how inspired I was by your spirit. I will continue to pray for a cure. Sincerely, - Ed

Comments: Aimee, not sure if you remember me but I was a friend of your sister's in jr high and high school. I read about your walk on her facebook page. I remember your beautiful red hair. I am sure you don't remember this but once I went to your house for a sleepover for Renee's birthday. My picture happened to be in the paper the next day for a school project. Your mom showed me the paper and the caption had my name in it. You refused to believe it was me. No matter how hard we tried to convince you , you would not admit it was me. I believe that same kind of conviction is helping you fight your horrible disease. I would like to contribute to the Walk4Life or an ALS foundation. Just let me know what is best. I will keep you and your family in my prayers. Beth Peterson

Comments: Hi Aimee and Jim, My name is Michael deKruif (sounds like dee krife) and I was dg with Bulbar Onset ALS in December 2002. This coming December will be 7 years. I am a 57 yr old father of two and our daughter Jessica and son-in-law, Andrew, just blessed my wife of 30+ years, Donna, and myself with a grandson Michael Joseph on Aug 17th! My Sister Sue and my Brother-in-law live in Mundelien and they sent me the article from the Daily Herald. They have supported me and my family from day one and stories such as yours, help other ALS patients keep up hope. I have been deeply involved with ALS of Michigan and MDA since day one. Tomorrow we will be doing the ALS of Michigan's Walk 'n Roll 2009. I am still quite ambulatory and still walk and drive. My arms and upper body have weakend and my speech is labored, but, by the Grace of God I am hanging in. Keep up the great work Aimee and NEVER GIVE UP! In Christ, Michael

Through the years I have read the articles you have written and though I cannot walk on your behalf (I live in Toronto), I will always continue to send a donation to this very worthy cause. You are an inspiration to so many. As you continue in your battle, my thoughts and prayers are with you. By the way, happy 40th!

I'm fine now, thank God, but I can relate to trying to relearn things I once knew so easily. Aimee is my age and we have the same name (different spelling). Although I don't know Aimee personally, I feel a connection. Your in my prayers, just do the best you can for yourself and your family Aimee, and know that you are cared for by so many.

Comments: I live and Texas and she lives in Illinois. I miss her dearly and wish I could be closer to her to help her and her family out during this time. But due to distance, at this point in her stage, all I can do is text her to see how she is doing because I can't talk to her on the phone.

Comments: My cup runneth over as I read the pages of your web site. My Mom was diagnosed with ALS this spring and we still struggle daily to accept what is to come. Her disease began three years ago with the deterioration of her speech/swallowing. As her only daughter I struggle with my own emotions daily on how I can help my Mom. We have yet to set up our first in home counseling meeting or attend a support group but think we might be ready. God Bless you and keep you strong!

Comments: Amy, You are such an inspiration to me..I lost my dad from ALS a few years ago when he was 52yrs. old. Since then, I have had 2 boys, who he will never get to meet. I am terrified that someday I or my children will get ALS. It truly is, I believe, one of the worst, if not the worse diseases around and I can't believe how many people don't even know what it is. I am tired of having to explain it to them because I know I am not doing a good enough job of explaining how horrible it is and how important it is to find a cure. But seeing you and reading your stories touches me and gives me hope. I wish I could meet you in person and I pray for you and your family often. Thank you so much for sharing your story.
