We went and visited mom today after dinner since she couldn't come to visit. Most people with Alzheimer's don't do well outside of their normal environment. It can cause more confusion and they need consistency at this stage of progression. She looks good and she was up walking around when we got there. We took her to the tv room and I put on some Christmas carols to listen to while we visited. She would smile at us once she caught our eye and we could see a glimpse of her. I'm not sure that she recognizes me anymore, but she sure acted like she knows Justin. It's all in the way she looks at us. Here are some pics that I took while we were there. My camera was acting up and not snapping as quick as I wanted it to. Mom was kissing David, but by the time the camera went off the moment was gone. I need a new camera!
Mom-
Today was really hard for me. This was the first holiday without you. It almost felt like just other day. I feel so guilty that we had Thanksgiving without you! Jake was really attached to you and trying to flirt! David never wants to leave and gets upset when it's time to go. I hope you know how much you are truly loved and missed!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Hope you enjoyed your Sweet Potatoes!
