[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 329380, member: 1514"] Abbey...having gone through this, Katya is completely correct. Your father in law needs to be under a doctors care if he isnt already. He should have already had a MRI and a CT scan. He needs to have at least a rudimentary neuropsychologist exam. They will ask him to draw a clock, name clothing and what they are for, count backwards, etc. Someone does need to have at least medical power of attorney but full power of attorney is best. Please start reading up on alzheimers on the internet. There will be sundowning, there will be wandering off, there will be confusion. He very well think that people are his parents or coworkers. My mom thought Jamie was her brother because he was in a Marine uniform. She had no idea who I was. She did remember who Ronald Reagan was though...lol. When 9/11 happened she thought it was WWII.
