The wife of a Scots man given a heart-breaking diagnosis 'doesn't know how she'll deal' with telling her young children their dad has just years to live.
Andrew Hogg, 42, was diagnosed with motor neurone disease (MND) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) last month. The conditions have dramatically changed the ex-squaddie's personality, making him more withdrawn and less empathetic, and given him twitches in his upper body and problems with his speech.
The Kirkliston dad-of-three, who has also worked as a prison officer and a forklift driver, has been given a prognosis of just a few years to live, during which time he will become increasingly paralysed. The news has torn through wife Alex, 36, who has found herself having to deal with the diagnosis as well as how to break the news to kids Lea, 15, Noah, nine, who is autistic, and Gabriel, eight.
