On April 19th of last year my Mother-in-law was hospitalized because the Alzheimers had progressed to the stage were walking unassisted was out of the question. Although we had been warned, the decline was accelerating up until death in October. My wife worked 4X10 so she was able to visit weekly and stay with her dad as well. It broke my heart weekly to she her when she returned. Always that gullt could she do more. I provided as much support as i could and ponder nightly if i could have done more to help her.

One day at a time.

Hi,Mike:
