AN UPDATE!
HELLO, I'M JUST WRITING TO LET MY FRIENDS KNOW THAT MY HUSBAND HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH ALZEHEIMERS. IT'S MOSTLY HIS SHORT TERM MEMORY THAT'S AFFECTED RIGHT NOW. WE ARE BLESSED BECAUSE WE HAVE GREAT SONS AND DAUGHTER-IN-LAWS WHO ARE A BIG SUPPORT TO ME AND THEIR FATHER. WE ALSO HAVE A GREAT SUPPORT FROM OUR CHURCH FAMILY FROM THE PASTOR RIGHT DOWN TO THE MEMBERS OF THE CONGREGATION. PLUS I HAVE A LOT OF SUPPORT FROM MY FRIENDS ON DS.
I JUST WANTED EVERYONE TO KNOW. THANK YOU FOR READING THIS JOURNAL. I HOPE EVERYONE HAS A BLESSED NIGHT. HUGS, CHRIS

Hi
Everything will be ok. A good support system is very important and you have that cover. Its sad and need time to come to terms with it.
Love, patience and faith will see you thru.
Big hugs to you. We\'re all here for you.
THANK YOU. I KNOW I HAVE THE BEST FRIENDS ON DS. PLUS ALL MY OTHER SUPPORT SYSTEMS ARE A BIG HELP. THANK YOU AGAIN. HUGS, CHRIS
Hi Chris,
MY, Prayers Are Certainly With Your
Husband And Your Entire Family !
Love Ya, ~Barbara
Sorry to hear of the diagnosis. I am so happy, though, that you have a good support system. God bless you all.
A diagnosis of ill health of a spouse is sure a blow. Glad people have your back though. How is he dealing with it? Write me whenever you need to. Hugs and prayers, Sandy
I\'m so sorry you both have to go thru this, I\'m so glad you have loving family and friends for support. Take care. Regards, Maddy
My prayers are also with you, your husband and family...God Bless!
My prayer are with you. My Dad went thro this and as i think back, did he know? I\'m not sure, but i saw signs. His dr never said or my mom never took him.
He was a bright man with a god career, so it happens to us all in all walks of life.
Now they let us know if we have it and that breaks my heart, but maybe those who suffer are relived in a way to know the behavior they show.
Family is so important, but please take time for YOU! I meant that as i have seen my mom lose so much of her self and now that Dad is gone she is a shell. A shell that bubbles and walks and talks, but is so empty!
loving hugs and I really mean them!
Janie
sorry to hear that! my prayers are with both of you! xxoo
I\'m so sorry to hear of your husband\'s diagnosis. I agree with what Janie said and all the others. We are here for you and it\'s so wonderful that you have so much support:-)
Love, hugs, & prayers,
Lois
Hi Chris, I\'m sorry. I hope you and your dear husband still have time to love and talk to each other.
Many Hugs and Love, Patricia
So sorry to hear this, but I know now that there are meds that can slow things down. My dad had Alzheimers but they were just starting to use drugs to slow the progress towards the end (he was 83).
Hugs and prayers going out to all your family ^j^
Big hugs to you, my dear friend! xxx
Sending out prayers. Support is so important. Hugs
