Bob went to see the Doctor today and has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's. He is in stage two of this disease and now has been given medication for memory and behavioral problems. If the new medication does not work he will be sent to a neurologist. He will be going to the medical Doctor once a week to follow this process.
We have been told to get alarms for the doors and we are going to get those this week end. He tried to go out yesterday for a walk without anyone. Last night he got up and was in the kitchen and hall closet and I never heard him. I didn't know he was up until he came to the bedroom door and ask if he could sleep with Rob and me because he had a bad dream.
The medical Doctor also at this time can not release a medical form so he can have his eyes operated on. He must get his mental state stable first before any surgery can happen. We have until September for his eyes, so there is still time and we are hopeful his eyes will still be taken care of in September.
We wish for you all to call and talk to him. He loves your phone calls and talks about everyone and Kentucky all the time.
The osprey came for a visit in the back yard. Bob won't remember it, but you can tell him you saw the picture of it on the computer.
