Thank you so much Richard. This is exactly what is going on. My daughter just called me with his dx and was told it was Metabolic Encephalopathy. In hindsight, this has been going on for a long time now. He is completely malnourished sometimes eating only 2 times a week. Regardless, even if he ate better, it probably wouldn't have made any difference at all.

Thank you again Richard for your post. It is most helpful. The doctors are not confident that even with treatment he will regain much of his functions, adn we believe he will have to be institutionalized. My daughters are in the process of filing for guardianship of him. It's such a sad state and my heart goes out to them for having to deal with this. I will as always be by their side helping them through it all. And I do have compassion for him even though he did some horrific things to myself and my daughters. He is sick and a human being and as such, deserves care.

Hugsssssss
