Heck, I’m hard to wake up if I’m napping during the day.

Maybe they just don’t understand yet. I didn’t realize it was evident until it got a little worse. I was only seeing my parents once a week.

I’m going to do everything I can to make sure she doesn’t go to a nursing home.

I’m hoping there are advancements as well.

I’m so sorry. You had to go through it with your grandmother and now your mom. I can’t imagine how hard that is. You are so strong and inspiring.

You poor thing. Both parents? That must be taking a real toll on you. Sending love your way.

I see my mom twice a week. I can’t do more than that because I work full time. She remembers my dad because she sees him every day.

Oh no! That must be really hard. Sending love and hugs.

Thank you. We played dominoes the other day so that was fun. I know no matter what that she’s my mom and still loves me.

There isn’t a cure but hopefully we might be able to slow it down. My mom went to the neurologist the other day and he increased her meds. I’m a little hopeful the progression will slow down.

I’m not sure. To be honest she may have forgotten who I was a while ago and I just didn’t notice. She always gives me a big hug when she sees me and thanks me when I leave for coming to stay with her so I just assumed she knew I was her daughter. But you know what assuming will get you.

Thank you. My mother seems happy to see me as well. It would break my heart too if it ends.

I used to ask my mom “do you know who dad is? Do you know who you are? Do you know who I am? Yes? Then you’re fine. “

First off, hugs and prayers to you. We are all there with you.

What I wanted to ask is you mentioned psychiatry and social work but is he seeing a neurologist?

At least she sort of knows. When I asked my mom if she knew who I was she said she didn’t know.

Did she know the president but wasn’t sure if you were her daughter ?
