I'm sorry to hear that Drummer, that's a tragedy for your family.

As far as the Sister thing, I would encourage your family to tell her, she has a right to know, and if you don't or hide it from her it can create resentment and anger and a tremendous amount of fear.

I know if I was her I would want to know if someone in my family was going to go through that.

There are support groups for ALS there are family support groups out there that can help. Also it might not hurt to make sure that you can find someone to talk to so you don't get overwhelmed. Diseases like this in the family are real tough battles, and they tend to wear on you.

Good luck to you and your dad.
