My middle daughter has been living with her 7th grade teacher since she was 14. They were 2 blocks from my house. My daughter did her cleaning, carried her bags for her (she was unable to shop because she used crutches to walk and couldn't hold the bags and crutches), ran errands and the things that we take for granted. She was diagnosed with MS about 19 years ago. Since then, she has been hospitalized numerous times, walks with crutches, has a wheelchair for long trips out, has a computer that speaks for her (she was a Social Studies teacher but had to retire because the kids couldn't understand what she was saying). My daughter also performed stretching exercises on her legs so her muscles wouldn't atrophy. In return, this teacher has bought a condo which my daughter and grandson have their own rooms, they are taken on vacation yearly (been to Hilton Head many times as part of a time share)and Walt Disney World in Florida. While her MS has gotten progressively worse, she is grateful for every minute she has here. My grandson considers her a Grandma too. She has a great outlook on life. I do know that heat and stress really bothers her MS. She also wears leg braces. If that wasn't enough, almost 4 years ago she was diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer. When diagnosed with this disease, it's usually a death sentence within 6 months. It will be 4 years in August. Every day is a blessing. She's one special lady.
