entry 39

Meeting with the Dr to review tests.

No new revelations, merely establishing a baseline.

Dr. is relating the test results to both of us but  mom keeps

 randomly bringing up the huge snow storm in the East!

The Dr asks her where she lives...

without thought, Virginia!

It was like mom didn't hear a word the Dr. was saying.

 I ask the Dr what's up with this?

It's the disease.

Were were given much information about how to proceed.

We are told
Now is the time  to acclimate mom to any major life changes, 

while she can still remember. 

The resting reveals she remembers and responds  best to visual simulation
and I am given different suggestions on how to help keep mom stimulated.

She can still build new brain cells and somewhat maintain what she has now with specific exercises.

But...there is no cure for Alzheimer's. 

Boy, is this going to be a CHALLENGE!
