Thanks to everyone for your response to my email.  My husband has been drinking since the age of 17.  We live in houston and i am blessed that i do have family support.  Right now we are looking for placement in a nursing home( which  I don't think will help him very much).  I use to work in one and i know they try but there are just to many to take care of.  My heart tells me to bring him home where he will be stimulated more and will be around our son.  I took our son to see him monday and at the end of the day a nurse told me that he was alot more lucid and with it.  At one point he held our son in his arms and just cried.  He also told his father he was sorry for disapointing him.  That tells me he is still here with us, that maybe his mind isn't as gone as they say.  The biggest problem is that he can't walk or stand without 2 people assisting him.  He did sit on the side of the bed and put his own socks on for the therapist.  The hospital discharge people haven't been that helpful, but i have B and Thiamin as well as plasma scrubbing to .  Anyway this post has been pretty long so i'll go for now.  Again any suggestions would really help,  i feel like all of you know alot more about this than the doctors and ya'll give me hope, bless all of you.
