Hello @ganz Nice to e-meet you here on Mayo Connect. I am sorry to read of your husband's healthcare journey.

I know from being my wife's caregiver that times of change can be very difficult and unsettling.

How long have you seen this latest change and have you seen other effects of his MCI?

Strength, courage, and peace

I did not include that after routine ct and check e/ray that he has modules on his lungs. They drained the fluid build up and are waiting to hear next week the results.

As far as the MCI goes he recognizes family and recalls past family events. Sometimes he walks into the kitchen and knows where things are but other times looks confused.

If we have an appointment I will tell when we have to go and when it is time to go he asks where are we going. Other times he remembers that we are going.

His motor skills are getting worse. He walks very gingerly and slow. This has been increased the last several months.

He also wears depends but our bed is wet every night.

I do not know what the progression is with MCI.

Thank you so much for getting back to me.
