Thank you so much, Marlene. I really appreciate all the support we get from these sites. Even though everyone else has their own problems, they are more that willing to encourage others and that is very much appreciated. And I know that prayers work!!
blessed be nancy w

suffered some strokes and can no longer communicate very well. His
memory is affected, his speech, etc. He has problems remembering how
to dress, how to put in his dentures and other things. Thankfully, no
paralysis is involved. The affected part of his brain is the
parietal left lobe. The strokes were found on the MRI. Don't know
exactly how many he had, but at least two. He had symtoms back
during the summer and he was dx'ed with Mild Cognitive Impairment.
It got worse very quickly, much faster than Alzheimer's or dementia
would have. And again, we thank God that those were not the
diagnosis. We went back to the dr a couple weeks ago and all the
tests were done.....MRI, echocardiagram and duplex carodid artery
sonogram. The two "grams" were negative, in other words, the heart
and the artery did not cause the strokes. Probabl y just getting
older. It is absolutely NOT caused by the BMS drug. Bob has been
prescribed Aricept (for memory) and low dose aspirin. We have to
wait for approval for the aspirin from BMS, but Dr. Sawyers is
diligently working on getting that. The aspirin is supposed to help
stop any future strokes, since it will thin the blood.
> So that is what is happening with us. We will go day by
day.......some days are better than others and with the help of
family and friends and mostly God, we will overcome this little
obstacle too.
> Thank you all for all you do for us. I'm sorry I have not kept
up with all the good news, but I send hugs and best wishes to
everyone and love and hope to all, too.
