The Meersman Experience

 

 I hate to think of this as the end of Steve's blog. It's something that I looked forward to reading as much as all of you. Sometimes it was my way of finding out what really was going on in his head the last couple of years. I'm not an eloquent writer like Steve was. One the many things I will miss terribly about him. I wanted to say "thank you" to all who supported Steve and our family throughout these long difficult months. I also wanted to say how very grateful I am for all the friends who who have been such a huge support for the kids and I since Steve passed away. You are all truely unbelievably kind and generous.

"There has been a turn for the worse.  My recent pulmonary function is 10% of expected.  Much of the past few weeks have been dedicated to breathing (or trying to breath).  I am currently in the hospital (McKee Hospice Care Center in Loveland, Colo.)  Treating aspiration pneumonia and my failing lungs.  Hopefully, I will make an entry from my house in the near future."

Those of us with ALS could sure use this 70's technology right now!
