[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To those who are defending Kevin, do you feel like he has a bigger say in Rebecca’s future care than Randall does?[/quote]

No. But I think REBECCA has a bigger say in her care and it should be her choice. Not her choice based on emotional blackmail. Her choice, period.

What Randall did is disgusting on multiple levels [/quote]

Her judgment is already impaired.

Thinking back to that stage when my dad was insistent that he didn’t need a nursing home, I wish I’d used emotional manipulation to get him out of his home. His choice was not good for him or anyone else. I wish I’d had Randall’s foresight.[/quote]

I’m sorry about your Dad. But I don’t think this is the same. Rebecca is still mostly lucid and she wants to spend her remaining lucid days with family before she forgets them all. This isn’t a matter of moving her within the same town, he’s moving her away from her grandson, her daughter and her son. Randall doesn’t see that as he lives across the country anyway so it’s either travel to LA or travel to MO to see his mom. Everyone isn’t moving to St Louis only her and Miguel. That’s awful. [/quote]

I’ll add that Randall’s motivation is to keep her around longer... not the quality of that longer life. That’s not okay. [/quote]

Thanks.

My dad [i]was[/i] still mostly lucid then. He was running a small repair business and teaching a class. But he was also forgetting to pay bills or pickup his medications. I thought the trial was to slow all the effects not just the physical ones that eventually kill the patient. It is just 9 months. If the thought is that without the trial therapy, Rebecca won’t be around in 9 months or completely demented, she probably only has one good month left anyway. I guess I could see not giving up the only good month left. But with the way even early onset progresses, that’s not likely the case for Rebecca. And aggressive treatment early does make a difference in slowing progression for memory and other functions.[/quote]
