My husband was evaluated at Mayo Clinic in February and March, and we finally got the correct diagnosis for his cognitive decline: Dementia with Lewy bodies. I have created a blog (enhanced by my school psychology, life coaching and writing skills) to assist others who support someone with dementia. I am sharing it to help others. http://dementialivingwithitgraciously.blogspot.com
