Dear Rita,   Why in the world have you not already taken him to a doctor and had the doctor do a MRI of his brain to see if this is a brain tumor or Alzheimer's etc....

GET this man to a DOCTOR,  NOW.........

It is only with an MRI of the brain will you know for sure what this is....

thank you,   karen
