Thank you for replying Amy,

I am going to ask to be the note taker on each appointment, but my Father and Stepmother may find that too intrusive. I have learned that, even at this early stage, one person listening and one person taking notes can be very valuable.

My Stepmother will by the primary caretaker, with many family members in a supporting role. We will be available to provide whatever support is necessary.

My Father is 62 and prior to this, active and in excellent health.
