Your husband's younger than me! I think the best help would be from the ones that have it and are doing well.
Was it caused from drinking and if so, has he stopped? That's the first thing we need to know.
My thoughts are with you!

hospital. We have been told that this is permanent and we need to
look for long term care. He is only 31 years old and we have a 3 year
old son. This is very difficult to try and grasp, it's very scary. I
came across your site while i was trying to get info on the syndrom.
Reading the notes from some members helped. Any input from anyone at
this point would help so much! The doctors can't seem to say much at
all.
