Thanks for asking, Studs. My mom does have Alzheimer's. She's holding her own but slips ever so slightly every day. As I posted a few weeks ago, my dad flipped over his ATV and broke 7 ribs on his left side. He is my mom's primary care taker so between my sister and I we had to take care of them both. My dad has recovered nicely. He still has some pain but he's almost back to normal.
I'm so sorry about your dad. The medication is key and I pray you and your dad's doctors hit on the perfect combination. It's a blessing when you find someone that can help care for your loved one. It takes a huge toll on the spouse of a dementia patient. I went to a informational meeting about caring for a loved one with dementia. I forget the exact number but many spouses pass away from the stress of caring for their partner before the dementia patient. Take care of your mom (I'm sure you know that). Prayers to you and your family for strength in getting through this. I hope all of you have a blessed and restful Thanksgiving holiday.
