I was up early as I had tutoring at 8am. Then I headed out to buy Abby her favorite breakfast as it was her birthday! Church friends had told me that they would buy the cake for her after our service!
I went to Carrefour and found good things for Abby and I also ran a few errands!
I got back and Mom was up. She was being 'normal'. That's all I need to say.
After her shower and breakfast, I was so tired that I wanted to rest. But Mom was super active! She kept flushing the toilet! YIKES!
We were out the door for church and she would not sit still. So, I had to sit outside with her during the message. Yes, this is all part of her new 'normal'.
Dinner was excellent and we had cake for Abby plus a few gifts!
We had Family Time this evening!

I think words make a big difference.... Mom is not being weird, she is just being herself in this stage of life, just like our father.........
ReplyDeleteOh yes... I have to tell myself that all the time... this is not weird... this is NORMAL! That's what the doctors keep telling me... this is all part of her dementia! Very unpredictable... very difficult to handle! If a bed becomes available, I will be putting her into the long care facility. She can't even be at church anymore.
ReplyDeleteJust remember how mom was before the onset of this terrible disease.......
