I think Rob was having a bad week when he was acting out. He is back to his old self now, no more outbursts.
When we talked to the cognitive neurologist, she told us to watch out for ALS symptoms. So that is why I was reporting his muscle cramping, slurring words, and difficulty with saliva and swallowing.
The saliva symptoms have progressed. He has been slurring his words more frequently lately and started slurping back his saliva often.
We had fried chicken the other night for dinner, and I looked up to discover water was pouring off of Rob's chicken.
My son noticed that Rob's hands were wet.
I was so confused, wondering where this water was coming from??
Turns out it was saliva, there were two streams of it coming off the chicken at his mouth, his hands were soaked, and he didn't see anything wrong with that.
He was confused when I asked him about it, as if he didn't know what I was talking about.
I feel like this is suddenly happening so fast, and it scares me.
I am worried, because in his advanced directive, he does not want any excessive measures, no ventilator, etc.
