As many of you know, I've been desperately trying to hire additional #caregivers . 2 weeks ago, we interviewed a potential candidate & agreed to give her a chance. We added her to payroll & scheduled her paid training. She has yet to show up for work or text back. How sad #EndALS

Feeling incredibly let down by the 3 new caregivers we hired. It's been 4 weeks and they still can't handle tasks independently or fix mistakes. The dysfunction is affecting my main caregiver and my wife. This level of inadequacy in the workforce is beyond disappointing. #EndALS

No, not again, not another young man with a wife and children. My deepest condolences to the Stewart family during this difficult time. @jonstew1982 was a great guy and warrior. We have to #EndALS

My afternoon caregiver needs prayers. She has been off for 2 weeks with pregnancy issues. She had the same issue with prior pregnancies, resulting in bed rest. This news is an atomic bomb to my care team & my journey. I am struggling with less care. #EndALS #momscarf

What a weekend. @MonsterJam Show on Saturday. The boys had a blast. Old Dad crashed. I was up ALL night. 3 breathing treatments, 3 doses of Ativan, and I puked 5 times. I slept all day today. #EndALS Thankful for my Angel of comfort, @erika_poling

***Proud Dad Moment*** Just watched my son Liam and his tee ball team, Seth's ALS Sluggers, crush it in their first game! So proud of these little sluggers and their sportsmanship. ๐Ÿคฉโšพ๏ธ #teeball #ALSsluggers #EndALS

I spent the evening outside on the patio with my boys. The neighbor was mowing and he kept stopping to play catch with my sons. I couldn't stop smiling and thanking him. #ALS #humanity

My 2 best friends from college came to visit today. We don't see each other as often as we would like.. But, when we do, we pick up as if we just left off. Our kids played & laughed. #ALS can be like solitary confinement. My heart's full. My tank's re-energized. #NotTodayALS
