my grandma had parkinsons and she also had altzheimers later on. when she was living at home she did really great.  they just need to keep on moving and excercise.  and the medication  that is out there.  Don't let her give up either.and please don't put her in a nursing home as thatn will make her give up easily.  once my grandma was in a nursing home it didn't take long at all.  its the activity and keeping her mind active around family memebers that will help.  as for your father,  time will only make him lose his memeory.  my grandma lost her memeory but 1 thing,my dad chewing his tobacco. and then she wander about why her husband wasn't coming to see her and he has been dead for years but with altzheimers setting in she didn't remember it.  she thought he left her.  we visited her and kepted up talking about everything as normal.  up to the day she died.  your mom will shake some yes with parkinsons but don't let it bother her, have her keep doing her normal routine around the house.  maybe take a short a walk if she is able or get a tread mill also.  have her stay active.  your parents will do just fine .  turn to God as the altzheimers gets bad, and you need help and may many Blessings come to you and yours.   2nephi
