Trying a Medical Food

David had his six month appointment with the neurologist this week.    The doctor  gives him a test each time,  and I just hate it!    I protested about  him taking the test again, but after the doctor explained to me,  the test gives  him 'markers' how David is doing.   I consented....I always cry silently, sometimes not so silently,  when the doctor ask him questions and he can't answer.   This was my first time ...not to cry, not that he did better, but I think I'm getting hardened to the experience.   

It's so hard to keep my mouth shut when the doctor ask David questions, and he can't answer....... I want to give him hints.   One of the questions was to name as many animals as he could in one minute.     He named a few, and then I said, "think of the zoo", and he said zebra...... Yea, one more animal named.      

 He scored a '5' - six months ago, and this week he scored '4.'

The doctor said several of his patients are taking Axona as a supplement to their medications, and he's seen some test scores go up.......Would we like to try it for a week?     My thought:    this is a terminal condition.....why not try it.    So far..he's had two doses of the drink...... we shall see if there's any change.

Axona is a medical food, regulated by the FDA, that addresses energy deficiencies in the brain by providing an alternative source of energy. In clinical trials, patients taking Axona experienced cognitive improvement in 45 days.

We took Casey to the pet store today.   Tomorrow is her second birthday, and we let her choose a present.   She has the present in her mouth........we're totally disgusting over this little dog, but she adds so much pleasure to our lives.

Casey takes David out of the house several times a day for  a walk, and he also does a little dance with her.......Ok, we are disgusting!

And I say, "thank you God for anything that might improve David's memory and happy moments with Casey."
