Alzheimers

Alzheimers is a terrible disease that just takes the persons life away as they know it. Our brother-in-law who is only 77 has been diagnosed with it and he his memory has been bad for a couple of years already. Our sister-in-law who is only 71, has also bee diagnosed with it and I know her memory has been bad for a couple years also. They have medicines they give them to supposedly help and prolong the effects of the disease but it is really only a temporary fix since there is no cure. It is so sad to see loved ones deteriorating before your eyes. It really bothers my husband as he is 6 years older than his brother. There is a good chance he will outlive his younger brother and he just lost his older brother who was very close to him.
