Well, her geriatric doctor said I don't have to bother with the neurotrax test since it's not going to change anything and even if the neuro changes the meds to Xelon or Ris... they work the same as aricept and namenda - so I think i am going to cancel. I really don't want to know about stages - just want to go with the flow. She also said as long as mom is with people during the day, daycare is not necessary unless no one is in the home. So she said not to feel guility about that too. Hope you all agree with the doctor. maryann
