I had a relative pass from this. Terrible, undignified way to go. Hopefully there have been advances since then. Good luck to him in his fight.

Sad news, Chris's wife Kelsie Snow just tweeted two hours ago that her husband went into major cardiac arrest yesterday, they got his heart beating again but he suffered major brain damage as a result. I'm guessing this is it for him. Such a horrid, cruel disease.

One thing I learned from the Snow family is just how non linear the disease is. Some months he'd look like a goner, but then would get some motion back or seem healthier again. If anything, I feel that makes it even more cruel, because it gives false hope sometimes, or just not knowing what to expect.

I'm still stunned at how quickly Borje Salming died, like, two weeks after he was honored in Toronto at the Hall of Fame game. He was unable to speak but could still walk with assistance and move his extremities. I always assumed people were confined to a wheelchair and completely unable to move at all by the time the disease took them.
