Yes, Janet. Alzheimer’s can be diagnosed in several different ways, including cognitive test and lab tests. You can read more in this article by Mayo Clinic.

Knowing what type of dementia your husband has can be helpful to understand better and to know what to expect. Has he been diagnosed?

Thank you for the article about Alzheimer’s Disease. We are going to a Generic physician and have another MRI to see if there is a difference from the last one. We were just going to get these visits when Will had to have a Pacemaker that he is now recovering from. But we will have these tests done.

Yes, several years ago a Neurologist took an MRI and saw 2 areas in his brain that were mini-strokes. He diagnosed Will with vascular Dementia. Previous to that, Will had surgery to replace a heart valve and after that he had the strokes. His mother also had Vascular Dementia because of high blood pressure.
She didn’t know anyone after awhile and said her mother was coming to be with her for lunch. Probably it was her daughter.
