Guest guest Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 It has been awhile since I posted any messages. My Daddy was first diagnosed in Feb. 2008. He is only 67. He has really covered his disease well. He was still driving in Jan.2008. He seemed okay at Christmas--just forgetful and slow.It has been down hill every since Feb. He is now in a nursing home. He can't walk or feed himself. He had a feeding tube for awhile but he pulled it out. He is eating soft food and milk shakes. The nursing staff are really good but I wonder if we could do more?????????????? He has one bed sore on his butt--and some sores on the heel of each foot. He is becoming unresponsive. My mother feeds him 3 times a day. My sister and I are trying to help her on the weekends. My sister and I live 80 miles away from Daddy. I am on anti-depressants and anti-anxiety pills. I am having trouble typing this e-mail. I am leaving this Thursday to stay for the long weekend. I am giving my Mama a break. She is going to visit my sister for the weekend. That is the plan--I don't know if she will leave my Daddy. I appreciate any suggestions and all prayers!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
