Hi Sandy, my dad has Parkinson's and DLB. He was diagnosed a long time ago and we did not have the education/advice or knowledge on how to deal with it or what to expect.
If we can go back in time, we would encourage a much healthier diet and constant brain and physical exercise. Also check out B vitamins and consider using B Plus you can also read the articles about it online. Lots of walnuts and green veg. Avoid stressful situation and if they arise deal with them calmly this will be good for you and him. This disease can be slowed down. I know others may disagree and perhaps medical opinions would too, but we have started the above late (when my dad hit 80) and even then it has had a positive impact on the progression of the disease. Enjoy your time together and try not to worry too much, and deal with every step at a time. My prayers and best wishes

I know it is hard but you might need to take his car from him. I had a very very close friend who died with Lewy body disease and Parkinson's. As time goes by you will have to watch him closer. My husband has alzheimers. Last week he put something in the microwave that caused a fire, He also washed a load of paper plates.Both Lewy body and Parkinson's slowly deteriate the person. As the situaliron got worst they found a day care to put him in during the day 3 days a week and he didn't want to go but them got to where he loved it. At this time I am still keeping my husband at home. It is frightening to face. I told my husband his diagnose because it was driving him crazy not knowing why he couldn't remember anything. Hang in there and start pretaring for the future. Do you have any family you can call on to help out,
