Bless my mom's soul. She's hanging on with all her might, I don't know how she does it! Alzheimer's is a terrible disease and it's a slow and lingering process. My mom is trying to fight it, I don't know why, but she is. She can't walk, talk, or feed herself. Her Atrophy is getting worse. Now, she is getting rashes on her body, weightloss, and she tends to be in alot of pain from the Atrophy. They took her off all her meds, besides Morphine. Every year for the past 6 years almost, they say it will be the last year. My mother just turned 57 on March 13. she has missed out in so many things. Since she is bed bound I can't take her out anywhere, that is the hardest thing for me. Dealing with her illness was easier to cope when I could take her outside and see her smile, all I see now is a lost look on her face and innocense.

Hey,
Just to say I understand..Dad's been fighting it for 12years now, he's 64 (so quite a bit older than your Mum, but still too young). Like you say, I don't know why they fight it, but I'm damn proud of my Dad for being such a trooper. Your Mum and my Dad, they're made of tough stuff!
Best wishes...if only we were so strong eh?

Oh my goodness, I stumbled upon your blog. I am so amazed! She is only 57? It is a nasty disease!! I know how you feel, my dad has it. Stay strong!

My heart goes out to you! My husband developed dementia when he was 49 and died ten years later.
Many blessings,
