I just got the news from my mother an hour ago and I'm trying to keep it together.

My father has not yet been fully tested but the doctor gave him a preliminary diagnosis of the onset of Parkinson's today. He had a small seizure over the weekend and my mother was able to get him into an appointment today. This is the second seizure he's had in about 10 months. They are going to run tests but the doctor noticed the tremor in my father's hand. He wants to wait for the results before giving them any further information or a prognosis.

My father is 80, has had two double by-pass surgeries, several small attacks and now has a few stents in place. I hate to see him hit with this as well, so if anyone has experience I would love to hear from you. I would like to be able to offer my parents some sort of support. Thank you!
