I am the daughter of Leonard whom was diagnosed in May 2004 and  he died of

complicatons *blood pressure started dropping and wouldn't recover* on Sept 25,

2005. He had bad case of Dr Jekyl/Mr Hyde scenarios. He was showing

hallucinations and falling issues since prior to 1994. We moved in to take care

of him Jan 19, 2003 and still live in his house. And in feb 2009, i have been

diagonosed with 99% probability of lbd. Hoping that a cure or treatment will be

found before it's too late for me.

Glad to hear there is no UTI and one less thing to recover from. Good to hear

also that Joan is sounding strong too. All good news.

Thanks Deb

Hi,

Sharon, thank you so much for letting us know. I live near Joan and just

called her. She is in a good hospital, my husband has been there many

times. She sounded strong and felt like talking so that's good. She was

told she would be in the hospital for at least three days, so I am going to

go see her tomorrow. They've revised the diagnosis, saying there is no UTI.

They are running all kinds of tests, MRI, stress, and others - like they

always do once they catch up with you! I told her when she gets out she'll

at least know that everything is working!

Joan and I have met for breakfast a few times, and talked on the phone a

lot. We are going to be co-facilitating a LBD caregiver support group.

I've gotten to know her and she is really a special person. I also know she

has wonderful neighbors and friends, including all of you, around her.

Hugs,

Deb in Las Vegas (57)

Husband (81) diagnosed with LBD 2009, probable Alzheimer's, PTSD 2010.
