He drew \u201ca few little circles and several numbers just in a very random pattern.\u201d The doctor pulled her aside and told her Steve was \u201cbeyond moderate\u201d Alzheimer\u2019s, on the verge of severe. The tremors had started. The reading was gone. The man she had married 40 years earlier was disappearing.<\/p>\n
