| | Connie, That is great news! We have had simular issues in our family, it's terribly hard and you have a million other things going on at the same time. Praying for you and your family.
 May the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart be pleasing to you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer. Psalm 19:14 |

| | Praise the Lord that she is seeing things at least partially. However, do be aware that this will come and go at times. Just keep this in mind when things seem tough. You know and did get to see that somewhere deep inside she understands,she may not be able to access that place, but it is there. I ditto the thought that it is the disease, and not your mom talking when she is uncooperative. Remember also that this is a grieving process for both you and her. Part of it will include denial, anger, and sadness. When it gets hard to take take a minute to close your eyes and picture her in a happy time and remember that that is your true mom. It may make it easier to separate your feelings toward the situation and your feelings toward your mom. In many ways she is becoming like a teen who does not want to be treated like a child, but at times must for safety- be firm but gentle and let the Spirit guide you. |

| | Connie, I hope your mother continues to do well and continues to be agreeable with going to an assisted living home. My grandmother has dementia and this month my Mom had to go to court to have her declared incompetent. She is very paranoid and at times delusional. She fights everything especially insisting that she can live at home by herself. I understand how hard it can be to see someone you love act in ways that they never have before. There will be good and bad days. My prayers for you are that your health improves and that your mom has more good days than bad. Prayerfully Yours, Kecia In Kentucky |
