My mother was just diagnosed with dementia and Alzheimer's disease and now has to go into a nursing home. This is such a shock to me since I thought she was just getting old. She is just like a little child with her dolls and stuffed animals and for her to know that she will have to leave all of her personal belongings behind will devastate her. She really does not comprehend the fact that she will be leaving her apartment and her belongings behind and in January moving into a small bedroom with a roommate. She still loves to shop and I think she always will till the day she dies. She enjoys her freedom and I feel so bad that she will be resticted from going anywhere; however, I believe that it is for the best since there will be people around there constantly to keep an eye on her. Right now, my son is living with her; going to art school and working all day; so he does not get to see or spend much time with him. He feels bad since most of the time she does not know who he is.She has such strong attachment to my son because she took care of him for the first three years of his life while I had to go to work. He will be coming to live with me in January; since his birthday is on Christmas Day and my mom wants to be in her home for Christmas with the whole family one more time. Please pray for my mom,Jane and keep our entire family in your prayers.
    God Love you all,

I consider myself to be a friend of Linda from the gathering place and Sacramento. She opened her home to my sister and I on my lecture and book tour.If any one ever feels depression of the slightest contact her. What a gal, genuine, giving and a heart bigger then California. Or visit was too short but it will not be the last time we get together. Not enough love in the world to match her.

My 86 yr. old Mom has Dementia we had to put her in Nursing Home April 03. I am the youngest of 5 kids, at 44 yrs. old, I am having a hard time dealing with this.
Mom does pertty much know who we are, she just got to point she could'nt help herself anymore, Her legs got very weak,now she gets around in wheel chair. A sister did have her living with them for about 2 yrs. till things were getting to hard, I hated having to put her in there, I see her everyday, And we all really like the care she recieves. But it is still hard.

Glad to see a place to share thoughts and hear ideas. I look forward to reading the archives. My grandmother just passed away July 8th 2002, she would have been 82 July 31st. She was in the early stages of not remembering short term.It was hard the last year of her life as she was receiving care with my mom and her partner. Phil my mom's partner was in charge of so much for the two of them. My mom has early onset Alz. and is now starting to need more help herself. He has been struggling with not having many people to talk to who are in the same situation, and his being the kind of person who just faces the challenges and meets them ,makes it hard for me to know how best to support him.
I will be sharing the link to this ribbon with him in hopes it will be some support. Thank you for providing the space.

I was Guest 17. My sister-in-law just died from A/D. Ten years in a nursing home! What a relief! Sound mean or callous? You all know what I mean. Needed care before that that her daughter with a husband and 2 daughters tried to give. She was the sister to my wife who had A/D as well as their father. Genetic? Would seem so, wouldn't it? Do you need help? Contact your local Alheimer's Association. They can give you lots of help. Most important, get help early. I didn't and I'm sorry. Things could have been a lot easier if I had.

Karen,
   I had no idea that youhad embarked on this project. What a tribute to your mother and your love of others and their daily struggles to survive, intact! I cn recall many, many IM's with you as we both struggled to cope with our demons. You with your and I with Barbara's. Though their diseases differed, their caregivers struggled valiantly to hold on to their sanity and deliver the quality of care and love that they so richly deserved. Keep up your efforts, never say die and know in your heart that your efforts are never futile or forgotten. Life on earth is but a blink of the eye, in the vast hereafter your efforts will not be forgotten.

Your firend and fellow caregiver,

Learned of your site at a ALZ Support Group Meeting. Am sure I will be viewing it regularly. My husband has had AD well over 3 years. He has progressed more in the last six months.Speech is slurred, walking alot slower and wanders from room to room alot. Does not wander from the house though. I was never exposed to this disease before so it has been quite a challenge.Have started using day care and it does help getting away. Would like to be able to find someone that would come to the house every other week, either friday or saturday evening so I could get out with friends. They all work during the day. Am hoping to read of other caregivers experiences. Feel free to email me anytime.

My 87 yr old mother is suffering with Alz. She is probably between the 5th and 6th stages on your chart.
But now, she suddenly can't stand or walk. The caregivers and the doctor don't seem to think it is attributable to the Alzheimers, but it seems to me that her brain has just stopped telling her body what to do. She recently began experiencing bowel incontenance as well. Do you think this figures into the advancement of the disease? I would appreciate hearing from anyone with a similar situation.

Having taken care of two Alzheimer's patients (my mother-in-law and her sister) for three years, I have grown to hate the disease with great passion. I hope that a cure will be found before any more family members succumb to it.
