Bernie 2 I hope you wife passes peacefully and without pain. I have seen you on here since I started a couple of yrs. ago. Stay strong Bernie. I pray for strength for you.

I hope you find a better day today. I think without his meds. he would have progressed faster. But how can I really tell unless he comes off of them and that is not going to happen anytime soon. I look at him and think, he isn't going to get that bad. Then I read stories and think so far we are Blessed.
