Subject: RE: T.W.I.S.T.E.R. - March Winds Challengeevening workout is canceled. My father was diagnosed with Multiple Systems Atrophy 4 year years ago (an amendment to the parkinsons diagnosis he had received 2 years before that ). With this disease basically all the functions that you are born with fail. The only thing that he doesn't loose is his cognitive abilities. He has been wheel chair bound for the last year and a half and had very limited mobility of his arms, hands and head. He is on in home hospice and my mom has hired a couple of fellows to help with his care. He has had a sharp decline over the last couple of weeks and tonight he has taken a turn for the worse. He may have caught the bug that is going around... I am sitting in his room with him watching Cash Cab. My mom called my sister and her husband are on their way to join us (it is a 3.5 hour drive ). There is a good chance that he won't make it through the night. Edited to add...he just turned 57 years old. Edited by mchally 2010-03-10 9:05 PM
