Guest guest Posted August 21, 2005 Report Share Posted August 21, 2005 Jo, The world keeps getting smaller, eh?? My Dad is in Court Dementia Assisted Living Facility in Brighton (near the Target on Grand River). And, my mom lives in her condo in South Lyon. Re: Causes of LBD , Where in Michigan is your Dad? I am in Howell, MI. My Father-in-law is in Florida and was diagnosed with LBD in April of this year. He has had parkinson's for nearly 10 years. They have taken him off all parkinson's med's just recently. He was admitted into the hospital last night with phnemonia in both lungs again. I am new to the group but I know there are a couple of others from Michigan as well.

Forgive me for this .. but my Dad is still alive and I can't help but wonder how much longer we may have with him. Could we add a question to the survey that looks at the length of the disease? In otherwords, for those who have lost their LO's could you tell us the time period from diagnosis to the end? Also, I would surely appreciate knowing what, if anything, struck you at or near the end that would be helpful to those of us still in the midst of this. I live in Missouri and my Dad is in Michigan. I want to be with him every minute but can't. But, I sure want a chance to say goodbye and would like to be with him at the end. If I knew of any warning signs I could jump in the car and be there in 12 hours.... Thanks for understanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
