Rest in Peace, Mary Valastro

I'm sorry to read that. Last I'd heard they were trying to get her ALS to go into remission I think.

It's probably a blessing. She has been declining a long time. RIP.

Mary,

I remember when Buddy was on the Food Channel and in a contest. That lady that wears the headband was not very nice to him. I am glad he has succeeded. I am sorry about his Mother.

ALS is a horrific disease. I believe I read she had it for eight years which is actually a fairly long time. The average life-span after diagnosis is 2-5 years. 

My older brother was diagnosed in the fall of 2015 and has steadily declined. If he makes it five years I would be surprised since he's lost the use of his arms and legs and can no longer speak. He may soon need to decide if he is going to go on a ventilator. 

You would think by now they would at least know what causes ALS. 

ALS SUCKS!!!!!

@akaburtonfan  Prayers for your brother and you and your family.  My aunt passed away in 2001 from ALS after having it for two years.

@akaburtonfan  So sorry to hear of your brother's medical condition.  Blessings to your brother and your family.
