Comfort in the face of adversity

THOMPSON FALLS - Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, according to the ALS Association, “Is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. Motor neurons reach from the brain to the spinal cord and from the spinal cord to the muscles throughout the body. The progressive degeneration of the motor neurons in ALS eventually leads to death.” This means that as the body’s muscles lose connection with the brain, the person with ALS will go through atrophy and eventually lose his or her muscles and eventually become paralyzed and die.
