I struggle with anything at all to add, except to say you are doing such a loving and good job taking such care of Wayne. You do what you can and rest if you can from uncertainty and doubt. There are no right answers, but you’re making loving ones. Praying for you this morning–Love Annette

Hi, Jean. I am so sorry that you are worried. It is so hard to know what is a progression of the disease, and what could be some other medical problem. I know you are rigorous about his medical care, but have you discussed this most recent decline with the doctor? Could there be an underlying infection or other issue? It might be worth a call, just to eliminate all possibilities.

I think often of how individual this disease is. My main problem with my Dad is keeping him busy. He likes to be out and about, and is always asking, "What are we doing next?" So far, he still sleeps well, about 10 hours a night. But you never know what's coming next.

I am thinking of you and praying for you. I wish I knew something more helpful.

Love, Laura

My dear friend, Jean…
I am so sorry for what you are going through with him. It must be so scary for you and I agree, so lonely. I wish I had the words to comfort you today! Know that your friend in Michigan is praying for you both, especially today!
Love you,
Angie xoxo

I think about you often and I, too, hold you both in my prayers. Why you face this in an unknown but how you face it is well known. It takes lots of strength and love and you seem to have a lot of both.

I don’t have a lot of experience with AD, but I do know they forget to eat, and how to eat. If you can get him to drink ensure, or one of your smoothies, it would be good. Ask your doctor for a referral for help at home, or a group for caregivers in your area. Just being able to talk to others going throught the same thing, and getting advice, and bouncing ideas off of one another is more helpful than you can imagine.

I was thinking just like your last posters that perhaps there are others online who could help you.

Prayers to you both.
