		<description><![CDATA[The following was written at the request of a national red top about a month ago. It was requested, then rejected as not the correct way in to our story. They wanted a &#8216;Save our Son&#8217;. The physical horror of MND combined with the lack of research funding was not deemed sensational enough.

I want all of you to know that Neil Platt was, true to form, one hundred percent in control till his last breath.
I want all of you to know that he did not have to go through the horror of having his ventilator turned down. [...]]]></description>

I must confess that yesterday left me feeling as vulnerable and bleak as that famous tree atop the moor in the heart of beautiful Brontë country. Today, there is very little change to report.

Neil has asked me to write a quick post, just to let you all know that he&#8217;s had a bit of a difficult day and is too tired to write. His swallow has been significantly worse today and it&#8217;s been an effort to get any food down without a choking fit. Today he&#8217;s eaten half [...]]]></description>
