@dederickve , is your husband getting infusion medication for the cognitive issue? I’m reading all I can about what degree of benefits they can provide. Short of that, traditional medication for dementia in pill form helped my dad’s symptoms for a while, but otherwise it was a sad decline. To help with the stress, getting outside help to cone in in a regular basis was invaluable. Also, have backup available you can call 24/7. We retained a home health agency that did both.

@dederickve Consider making a plan. Learn the stages of Alzheimer's, write down the deficits at each stage and make a plan concerning how you will manage the problem and how you will cope. Consider seeing a psychologist and scheduling a care giver so you can do something fun for you at least one day a week. Don't become overwhelmed. It's a hard journey but you can do it.

@dederickve Please know with many of us in the same situation you describe, we just have to go with the flow. What's the alternative. My husband just came off his 5th infusion today, so I'm watching that like a hawk. And trying to get him to eat better because I read that the Mediterranean Diet is helpful for MCI people. Then I watched a video from CareBlazers on MCI people on their computers and the problems with scams. There is so much to think about from bill paying, to driving, to them using the computer and who know what they are pushing. I've had to do a diagram to show my husband how to operate the smart TV, and I'm not that great at it either. I just have to breathe every day and take one day at a time. Yes, you will keep on, because that's what we do when it comes to our loved ones. You are not alone.
