My prayers for your Dad. I might be wrong but has he been tested for deficiency of vit. B12? My FIL was bedridden, he couldn’t walk. Doctors were saying he is old and needs to be in a nursing home (he was only 70!). Another young doctor suspected the deficiency and had him tested. He was right, shots of the vit. restored his walking. My blessings to that young and caring doctor, he gave us back a father to love for another 15 years. Don’t give up, ask the docs to test for every possibility. God bless you and your family.

Hubby just texted the doc asking him to test for Vitamin B12 deficiency and he said “sure”

Thank you for that suggestion.
