I hope that Jean-Noel will be able to find a professional care giver or a facility for his father as the disease progresses. But it will take a huge toll on him as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-16139260137818549222008-12-04T20:51:00.000+01:002008-12-04T20:51:00.000+01:00Thanks, Donna.

This will be a terribly stressful time for the family, and it's difficult to know how to help them from your point of view. Be glad that they told you the situation though.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06472449597146519943noreply@blogger.com
