My husband was diagnosed with vascular dementia four years ago. This was two years after a major stroke. The MRI showed that he'd had a few TIA's before that which we hadn't recognised. A year after his stroke he had his first seizure. a second seizure meant that he was diagnosed with epilepsy. Since then he has had, on average, three seizures a year. These always end up with him in critical care as he is status epilepticus which means that he has to be sedated and intubated to stop the seizures. The damage to his brain from all of this is enormous. However he has only this week stopped being able to walk. His memory is brilliant for facts, loves his quiz shows, but his short term memory is getting worse. His main problem is balance, coordination, understanding and logic. Everything with vascular depends on where in the brain the damage is. That's why everyone is so different. He is now sleeping much of the day and I think I shall have to start having help with his care. The doctor thinks the next stage is coming on quickly.
