I just spoke with Al’s neurologist who is one of *the* specialists in #FrontoTemporalDementia.
#FTD #BruceWillis
She has been his Dr. for six years.
Today she compared his latest brain MRI to one taken earlier, maybe in 2020.
There have been significant changes to his temporal lobe, mainly a volume loss of his brain.
It’s one thing to *know* it.
It’s another thing to witness my brilliant husband slowly deteriorate.
It is quite another to see actual, undeniable loss of brain matter.

I have a friend suffering from #FrontoTemporalDementia and it’s heartbreaking to hear how much he’s changed. I’m super sad and I’m praying for him and #brucewillis
