October 31, 2018 - It has been a rollercoaster ride, since Bob has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's.  We are in the Washington University study, Bob has undergone a lumbar puncture, 2 MRIs and a Pet Scan, blood tests and a sleep study.  Bob has not experienced any panic attacks since the last one in April, so that is good.  Bob is on Aricept for memory loss and I think it has helped him.  The only other new So far I think his progression is very slow.  Thank you Lord!  What I have noticed is I get asked the same question several times a day.  Things I tell him he forgets immediately almost.  His driving is still very good but the doctor explained that is a long term memory, so I am thankful for that.  I am noticing that he is having some trouble watching tv shows, especially if they jump from present to past, Bob gets confused.  We are coping and I just pray that Bob's personality stays intact, he is very laid back and does not argue with me about things, so I am blessed in that way too.  So if things would just stay like they are we would be so happy but that is not realistic.  This is why we pray so hard that God gives us the strength to be able to handle what is in store for both of us.  God is good!
