Thank you to all who have posted. My husband, 80 years old, has MCI. Diagnosed 2 1/2 years ago. So far his abilities are pretty stable
but his ability to process requests seems to be getter worse. I have over time changed my expectations such as not asking him to do anything related to budget, bills, financial issues. I would appreciate any tips you all have regarding adapting to verbal difficulties, checking on his welfare etc. I try not to be too afraid for the future but am still sad, as you all are, about the changes in my darling active capable husband.

@tuckerliko Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! I’m so glad that you found this site. Members on MCC share their experiences and what works and what doesn’t. Since no one on Connect is a health care professional, we cannot diagnose or tell you what treatments/medications are best. We cannot diagnose or read/understand lab values—we leave that to the doctors! Glad you’re here.
