Hello! My name is Heidi Good Swiacki. I have been married to Steve for 25 years, which has been filled with laughter, trust and love. We have 2 great kids, Ashton 22 and Chris 16. I have ALS, aka Lou Gehrigs Disease. I was officially diagnosed March '05, I was just turning 45. This blog will be about a myriad of topics. I will share my ALS story which will hopefully encourage others. It will show that quality of life comes in many forms. I have to tell you up front that there will be some spiritual references. Don't be afraid or turned off by that. Since I have had ALS I have seen many miracles. Let's be realistic, who can be a happy, non-verbal,ventilated quadriplegic without Faith? I hope you will join me and make this an interesting, educational, inspirational forum. Humor and the ability to enjoy life is required! :)


Heidi passed away 3-25-13 :(

Hello, Steve here. To help with the healing process, I am going to continue on with Heidi's blog, primarily talking about our lives and how we as a family are learning to live on with Heidi's memories pushing us forward. Topics covered will be geared towards the affects ALS has on loved ones.

Heidi, It has been over a year since we last saw your smile and felt the warmth only a mother can provide. We miss you terribly and wish we could hear your sexy synthesized computer voice telling us you love us just one more time

    I was so sorry to learn of Heidi's passing. I only met her once, when she came to our support group. But she made a powerful impact on me, with her optimistic attitude and her love of life. We communicated by email, and she was a source of practical advice as well as comfort. I will deeply miss her. My condolences to her family and friends. What a lovely tribute video.
