Janet: Actually, we did address the "test" with the neuro. He and her family doctor met with 3 of the children (without my m-i-l in the room) and were able to give the doctor a less biased description of the things that have been happening to cause our concern. They have tentatively diagnosed Alzheimers. I know all TOO WELL about advocacy. Before my husband was diagnosed with Parkinsons, I had to advocate for my oldest son with learning disabilities his entire school career and likewise with my other son who has sleep disorders including apnea and narcolepsy. As always, my best to you all!!
