we have had incredible experiences with our mom. she is now in her 22nd year of the diagnosis. she no longer speaks and after several strokes, is still "with" us off and on. her eyes speak volumes and she still cries when i leave. i do not understand this disease - every one of her siblings (7) had the same diagnosis.
