Today, I called my grandmother Helen. I asked her how everything is going in her and grandpa’s life. She said it was going great and they were both in good health except for a few minor problems. I was relieved to hear that from her. You see, about ten years ago our family learned that my grandfather Henry has Alzheimer’s disease. I am determined to research everything about the disease so I can help my family cope with his condition. How quickly does Alzheimer’s disease progress and is it possible to stop the progression altogether? This is what I will research to educate myself on ways to help my grandparents.
