Karins Kottage Happenings

My friends I have some sad news. My sweet mom has been recently been diagnosed with Lou Gherigs disease also known as ALS. It has been a very sad and difficult few weeks as you can imagine. ALS is a very rapid fire disease and is so hard to understand. ALS has no cure and is a really horrible disease.

Even the doctors have a very hard time diagnosing it correctly. Tomorrow mom has a biopsy and we are hoping that she might have cancer that might be mimicking ALS. How strange is it to be hoping for cancer but cancer has a chance to be cured.

We are still learning as much as we can about ALS. I would love to hear from any of you that know of someone who has had an ALS reversal. Leave me a comment.

Link on up to the party!

Can’t wait to see your summer ideas!

    Oh Karin, I am so sorry to hear your mom might have ALS. My brother-in-law has it, and it’s hard to watch him decline, but he has a great attitude and has fought it valiantly for 10 years which is not usual. I will be praying for your family. Thank you for hosting every week, we all appreciate it!

        I’m so sorry for your loss, Karin… that was SO fast! I often ask the Lord to take Mom quickly, so she doesn’t have to live through Alzheimer’s for a long time.

Happy heavenly Mother’s Day to my mom! How we al Happy heavenly Mother’s Day to my mom! How we all loved her! I miss her funny sense of humor, her fierce love of others, her cooking and desires to always please everyone. Mom had strength beyond my comprehension she was always gardening… moving heavy pots, digging in hard soil and creating an oasis everywhere she lived. Her love of all things French was something to admired. Everyone who ever walked into her home could immediately feel loved and cared for. Mom worked tirelessly in her chocolate company right up until just a few months before she died. Her sacrifices for us were uncountable. I love my mom and all she was and did and especially her faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Here’s to all the moms past present and future and to all the sacrifices, teachings and loving us even when we drive them crazy. 

Loving and missing my mom! ❤️
