Although any Speech-Language Pathologist can write a justification, I would suggest that people be evaluated by centers with expertise in technology assessment. One of the centers in Oregon is Dr. Fried-Oken's Assistive Technology Center at Oregon Health Sciences University. This note is for a very special request. My father is an ALS patient. I believe that science and medicine are key factors to to help this devastating disease, but we sometimes forget that overall, regardless of our pain and suffering there is our GOD who we need to pray to.
Prayer is a very strong medicine that has the power to accomplish good things.
Therefore, I am asking caregivers, the patients, physicians, family members and anyone related to this disease, regardless of your religion. And lets all have a few minutes of silence and pray to our GOD to aid us in the quest for answers on this disease. I hope this could be accomplished and taken seriously like other quests posted on the digest. Whoever can post this on the other als related websites I will surely appreciate it.
