I am caring for my brother who was diagnosed with LBD at age 55 in 2016. Five years into the journey, the digression is mostly gradual with some sad losses (driver's license, unable to read anymore, trouble operating the TV remote) Our situation is worse because he has Parkinson symptoms (shuffle, freeze, somewhat muffled speech) I understand that exercise is really important. Unfortunately I have a hard time getting my brother to exercise due to asthma. Be sure and get yourself involved in a support group or two. They sustain me. Best luck and prayers for you and your husband.

Hi Hitt, I want to add a belated welcome and appreciate your suggestion about joining a support group. Has your support group moved online at this time? What do you find most useful about connecting with others?
