Hi,
You are right that real life practical advice is valuable. You might want to look into occupational therapy for your husband if he starts to lose his ability to do basic daily living activities. Even more complex ones. Ask your doc for a referral.Also, I'm sure there are support groups out there. They have them for all kinds of things these days. You can probably find one at http://www.nmss.org/
And there is a message board at http://groups.msn.com/AHomeawayfromHomeaMSSupportBoard/_homepage.msnw?pgmarket=en-us
Finally, you might check out the book "Where is the Mango Princess?" This is the story of a family dealing with a traumatic brain injury and subsequent recovery. There is practical stuff, heartwarming stuff, tearjerking stuff, and negotiating health care systems stuff. I enjoyed reading it for a neuropsychology class. It's an easy read.
Good luck. MS is tough. I feel for you and your family.
