Dr. Jon LaPook and the medical team at CBS News has followed Alzheimer’s patient Carol Daly and her primary caregiver, her husband Mike, over 6 years. This year we continued our coverage of their journey, showing her decline over time and Mike Daly’s commitment to care for her. We stress the importance of advance planning, and for caregivers to think about what the patient would have wanted before losing their cognitive abilities. In the piece we show previous interviews that highlight the stages of Alzheimer’s, but show the love between the couple, and a new relationship being built because of the disease.
