Thanks Jim, I will definitely let you know and I really appreciate that.

The sad thing is that my wife lost her father 10 years ago last week in a car accident, and her mother is only 53.

From what I understand about the disease is that the person is completely aware of everything that is going on, their mental capacity is not diminished, yet they just cannot move, blink, speak and eventually breath.

The doctor told us that he was 85% sure she had it after all the tests, then they did some work to rule it out and that was the only thing left it could be.

Thanks for the info plateman, I am sorry to hear about your father, it doesn't seem like a very nice disease.

As far as the baseball player, his name was Lou Gehrig It was just sort of renamed for him after he passed from it.
