He will say things from time to time, but it will just be random phrases such as, "I know it." or " It's over there." The things he says makes sense, but it is never in the right context. He pretty much just sits there all day and doesnt do anything. I was wondering if you could tell me ANY good ideas of presents to get him for Christmas. Everyone in my family gets him clothes because that is all we can think of giving him and I would love to get him something different this year. He already has almost every device that is helpful for patients with Alzheimers and he cannot do anything on his own. I am just racking my brain this year trying to come up with something good to get him that would be useful or enjoyable for him, or even just something I can give my grandmother that would make her life easier. Im just at loss for ideas and need some advice. I understand if you cannot think of anything, because i really dont know if there IS anything I can give him that would help, but Ill never know if I dont ask. Right?
