Motor Neurone Disease, fighting it together.

Hello, my name is Lesley Roberts and my husband Christopher, who was a farmer, was diagnosed with MND on May 5th 2014, sadly he lost his courageous fight with this awful disease on September 5th 2015. I wrote this blog to ,share our journey as a family with this disease, the good days and the the bad days and hope to raise awareness of MND in the process.

No. 228. 'Damn MND.'

My poor boy, the auctioneer was here this afternoon cataloging the machinery for our sale, the sun was shining so Chris wanted to go out and be part of that. He had been gone about an hour and then I spotted him coming up the drive in his wheelchair. He was hunched up and I could see streams of mucous coming from his nose and mouth. I rushed out with a cloth to wipe him and it wouldn't stop coming. Once inside I used the suction pump on him and then did some cough assist to clear everything. Goodness knows where it all came from, maybe the sunshine, breeze and fresh air exacerbated things, I felt so sorry for him, he was really enjoying being out there with his brother.

Damn MND!!
