DH is still in geri  psych—day 11. Still not taking his meds regularly.

He called me yesterday and we spoke for the first time. He knew who I was and said he missed me.

Tuesday night I went to hear a doctors speak who specializes in dementia. He was fantastic! He believes in really helping families by determining a more exact stage. 4.1,5.3, etc. 

He is now a part of our care team and I feel he will help guide us on the next steps. 

I’ve narrowed MC down to 4 and will take a second look.

Thanks for all your support.

    I’m glad you’ve found a team to help you, and it sounds like you’re making progress on the MCF choice.

    I hope you counted that as a win. Getting that doctor on board sounds like another win. And narrowing down your choices sounds like you're making headway there. Thanks for the update.
