Ditto what Amos said: Laughter really is miraculous.

And remember: MS can rob a person of a lot abilities, but it can't rob them of their personhood.

That's hard to remember in this culture that places so much value on outward appearances, but it is vital.

Hang in there, use every resource open to you, drug wise, and people-wise, and don't be discouraged by doctors.

(*note: I read once in a magazine for the disabled that doctors routinely underestimate a person's quality of life, compared to the how the patient herself rates it. So focus more on Amy's good spirits than on the doctors' dire predictions for the future).

As Roger Miller once wrote:

You can't roller-skate in a buffalo herd
But you can be happy if you've a mind to.
