Thanks so much for your responses. My BIL certainly has a lot of visitors and love surrounding him. I just know that because so much has been taken from him so quickly (he was diagnosed in April and no longer can talk and losing mobility) he feels alone in this awful experience.

Scotty, you could always ask your BIL if he would be interested. I can look to see if there are Facebook groups or other social media sites where he could communicate with other pALS. He is also welcomed to join the discussions here too.
