Since Chris's vocal cord cancer diagnosis in June of 2025 and his ALS diagnosis this past February, his need for care has increased. I (Linda) am beginning to find it a challenge to keep up with everything that needs to be done. I'm starting this page because I know that the challenges will only increase as Chris's symptoms worsen. There will come a time when he will need full-time, 24/7 care. I won't be able to do it by myself. We're going to need lots of help, and we have an army of loving people willing to give it. My hope is that this platform will enable us to organize the help that we need in a simple, straightforward way. I'm wanting to get things in place now, so that when the BIG needs come, we'll be ready. Boy, do we love you all!
Because of the atrophying of muscles that defines ALS, eating and, oftentimes drinking, have become an extraordinarily difficult challenge for Chris. As a result he is hoping to get a feeding tube soon. Because of this our need for meals is minimal.
