Great! Hope it works out well for him, AND for your mother. Has anyone out there had any experience with the Aricept having a good effect on speech? My mother speaks well, but she has to speak so-oo-ooo slowly that it's frustrating for her (except when she's mad at my dad, she can get a pretty good pace going then!). Well, let us know. I'm going to copy all info. from this list for my parents' Dr., who is always very happy to look over anything we think will help. Any further info. will be great! Wendy CG for Ruth (77/4+)
