Dallas Cowboys icon Michael Irvin shared that his wife has been diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s disease in an interview with the Fort Worth Star-Telegram published Tuesday.
Irvin revealed to Star-Telegram that his wife, Sandy, has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease five to six years ago. His wife now requires round-the-clock care due to difficulties in walking and speaking. Despite the challenges, Irvin made it clear he intends to keep her at home.
“If anyone has earned the right to stay in her house, MY WIFE HAS!!!,” Irvin told the Star-Telegram. “That I shall honor. No matter what it takes.”
