    I forgot to mention that he also had a PET scan. He is still in MCI stage and that is his diagnosis for now, but IDK how much longer. The pathology clearly shows signs of AD. In fact, he was just accepted into a Research Center's trial of an existing drug for those with MCI and early AD (I can't say more) that will start in a month or so. He is going to be followed very closely by the trial researchers for the next year.
