My grandfather has Dementia, and I want to know if it will get progressivly worse the way Alzheimer’s does. Sometimes he forgets who I am, but after a few minutes he eventually comes around and remembers. Well recently he would remember who I am, but a few minutes later he forgets again. He goes through that cycle over and over, which he didn’t do before. Or, even worse when I visit him he has no clue who I am at all, from the start. He doesn’t know me, and he doesn’t eventually remember like he usually does. Is this a permanent occurance, or will he eventually remember me again. Is it like Alzheimer’s where, once he reaches a certain point he won’t come back, or is this just a phase in his condition. Basically, right now he doesn’t know who I am and I want to know if he will remember eventually, or will he never know who I am again. I talk to him a lot, he is a very important person in my life, and I need to know if I will get him back, will he know who I am, and will he remember.
