It's the first update on how my father is doing. The symptoms have almost set in fully and now it's up to time. Yesterday he continued to show his symptoms, he's not himself anymore.  It doesn't make physical life that much more difficult, but its emotionally destructive. The only difference physically is that we have to treat him as a young child. He cant do anything himself anymore. Our days are very simple. He'll wake up and eat breakfast like every other person. He spends most of his time sitting around, but on good days he'll try to entertain himself, or even have a conversation with me. He usually eats lunch, but that depends on how he's feeling. After that my family and I will try to spend as much time with him as possible. He eats an early dinner and goes to bed soon after. About every other week he goes in for a checkup to see how he's doing and to make sure he's staying as healthy as possible. My family and I adjusted to our change quickly and love our father as much as ever.

More Later, B. Lewis
