There's not a much I can add to the great support your getting other
than letting you know that you've got another BGG member pulling for
you and your family. It's a tough situation to be in and I wouldn't
wish it upon anyone. But...life gives us what it does.

My wife's father has Alzheimer's and I know the day is coming when
we'll need to cross this bridge.  He still recognizes most people but
having known him for 20+ years you can really see the difference
between now and what once was.  The biggest issue right now is the
unbridled anger that comes out on even the little things. He's either
relatively passive or full-throttle angry.  There's no middle ground.

Luckily for us, my wife has an MSW and provided counseling for parents
in a pediatric nursing home (congenital and injury cases) and she was
a psychotherapist.  That helps in understanding what's going on and
how best to deal with it but it is a difficult situation emotionally.

Thanks for sharing and we're here for you.
