my daughter said he needs to go live in long term care for awhile. He's making no progress except to get out of bed once in awhile. . I would say his intellect and personality seem back to normal for the most part...that was questionable at one time. I don't know about depression. He seems the same today as he was 25 yrs ago when he started taking depression meds. This is probably the first time in his life that he can't control much of anything. Kristen, you are correct in all you say.

I will try to be patient until Thursday appts and see what the doctors say. I am used up from this whole thing and of course, no appreciation whatsoever.

thanks for your input. I am just shaking my head not knowing what to think. He is doing 6 boxes of formula a day and some water. I assume he's swallowing applesauce.
