"He seems just fine".
For those of us caring for a loved one who is balancing between Mild Cognitive Impaiment due to Alzheimer's and Moderate Impairment, the family and friends who spend a very short time with my husband and say, "He seems just fine" seems so dismissive of what you have gone through, and are currently going through.
"How are thing going for you two?" sounds a bit more caring.

@blue2 Amen to that too. "He seems just fine." Uh huh, you should have been here yesterday when he was ranting at the television. I could come up with a hundred of these you wouldn't thinks he's fine if you had to deal with whatever. My husband is trying out a new behavior this week. He's decided to not eat until bedtime. I'm shrugging this one off. It will only last so long, he'll get hungry.
