His body had failed him – and, Todd Darbyson believes, so did the healthcare system.
It’s a very different life now for Todd Darbyson than it was more than a year ago. After being diagnosed with ALS in 2018, Darbyson was given three to five years to live and was forced into care before his 45th birthday.Darbyson shares a timeline of events that started in January 2021 when he was moved into Pleasant Valley Manor.
It was a change that made him choke, gag and throw up almost daily. Todd describes the sensation in his mouth as "having a bunch of small chips in a bag and you dump them out in your mouth and one or two of them get caught in your throat." Scott goes on to explain that Darbyson kept asking for his diet to be changed back, but the staff at Pleasant Valley weren’t moving fast enough for her friend, whose life is being cut short by disease.
"There's just no more decline for Todd, he is able to eat and swallow and he's not choking and gagging and throwing up," she says.
