Open Parkinson's Disease

We just found out my dad has Parkinson's disease. He has been on medication for it for a while but we did not know he had it. I don't know if he did not understand that he did or he chose not to tell us. He is in a mental center for the aged right now. He has gotten a thousand times worse since he was put in Friday a week ago. I am mainly terrified, hurt, and in shock.
