## Question
SUBJECT: Alzheimer's disease
MESSAGE: This may sound strange, but unfortunately our family, my wife's dad, are dealing with the ugly disease of Alzheimers. To make this short, is there any way that we can challenge him to do things, or attempt to even "get off the couch", because he seems to respond to that type of activity. Fortunately my wife is able to spend a great deal of time with her mom and dad, but he seems to perk up when I see him at times and "not baby him" like the rest of the family. Thanks much.
