Guest guest Posted April 8, 2002 Report Share Posted April 8, 2002 Marge, I am so sorry to hear of Al's passing. God Bless you, Belinda > My husband E.E.(Al)Soeffker passed away Feb.19. Al was 75 yrs 9 months old. Al had Multiple System Atrophy.In the A.M. of the 19th he was seen by the nurse practioner in Neurology. She told me that his condition was the same as it had been the month before. Within an hour he just simply quit breathing. In November 2001 Al had the Stroke/cartoid ultra sound- the Abdominal aortic aneurysm test and The Arterial disease (pAD)test- all were in the normanl range. Sept 4,2001 he had extensive blood work done- everything normal.In August and Sept of 2001 we had to live in a motel- the weather was 90 heat and 90 percent humidity and Al just could not tolerate this. His walking became a problem. He was given 1 month in a rehabilitation center for therapy several times a day. His halucinations due to the side affects of the Levadopa/Carbidopa- Fludrocortisone continued to cause him much anguish. The other physical symptoms and the normal blood pressure remained in reversal due to the Alternative Medicine Treatments. (Acupuncture). Since he started his treatments in1999, his quality of life had been greatly improved and I believe he lived three years longer due to these treatnents.

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2002 Report Share Posted April 8, 2002 Dear Margie: I had wondered how you and Al were doing. We hadn't heard from the two of you for a while. One thing I am sure of, you did everything there was to do to help Al, and you went through some pretty hard times with this dreadful disease. I am so very sorry to hear of his death, and I do admire the fight the two of you put up. I think they know when it is time to " just stop breathing. " At least my Ken seemed to.
