I am so sorry to hear this. Has your father been advised of the condition? What about getting a second opinion? Did the doctor give you a suggested timeframe as to when it will get worse?
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
He has not been advised of his condition yet other than the two choices that I posted previously. He has a doctors appoint with a neuroligist in NYC Cornell medical hospital on Friday. Apparently either choice has no cure or meds. It is already pretty bad so I don't know how much worse it can get. One of the choices says that you can't die from it but you might choke on food or get nuemonia or fall. I am at his house right now with S22. My kids are kind of upset! My wife is coming home tonight and My sister is coming in tomorrow. My dad can still communicate but his speech is somewhat slurred.
Prayers for you, your father and your family. So sorry OP, you have the weight of the world upon you and yet you are still so supportive of everyone on these boards. May God shine his grace upon you.

Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free.
Dear OP, I'm SO sorry. You, your dad, and your family are in my thoughts and prayers; I wish there was something I could do to help you.
Take care.
Remember, as each person is different, every MLC/Transition is different..what works for one may not work for another. Most of the time it is trial and error for ALL involved.
I am keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. I pray that they can make your father comfortable and he can enjoy his life for a while longer, despite the circumstances.
Please take care of yourself. You are very important to your father and he needs you now more than ever.
