Welcome to my Blog :)

Thank you for your kindness, compassion, and most importantly your support throughout this difficult journey. Your physical presence wasn't necessarily what we needed; your love, strength and caring was.

IN MOM'S MEMORY, to those of you who sponsored me for the Investor's Group Memory Walk...I walked 5kms on 18 June 2011 in the pouring rain, and cold weather. We were soaked and covered in mud. I raised $1176 to help THEM find a cure BEFORE WE REACH OUR GOLDEN YEARS. To find out if we were fortunate enough to reach our goal this year, go to:

www.alzheimer.ab.ca to check out the numbers.

Congratulations to all who participated in support of those who can no longer do so themselves. This disease could affect all of us at one point of our lives or another. The next time someone approaches you, wondering if you'll sponsor them, consider saying yes because it could be YOU or someone you love facing this devastating disease. Don't wait until it's too late.

Still Not Much New

Hey, everyone.  Yes, I know it's been a while since my last post and for that, I'm sorry.  It's been a hectic week as I've been on course and been quite busy. 

Mom's progress has been slow this past week and not much has changed.  Her cognitive abilities haven't progressed much, nor have her physical abilities.  I'm not certain the physical abilities will change much without physical therapy or the chance to get up and move around as she's becoming lazier and lazier.  I ask her now if she wants to get up to take a walk and her answer is no more often than not.  It's kind of disappointing but understandable.  She's just not getting the stimulation she should be.  While I understand staff limitations, there's got to be an alternative.  I'm thinking I could bring in a private therapist to work with mom.  That may help, but first I have to talk to the physio staff and the occupational therapist.

Otherwise, as I said...there's really not much to report.  I'll try and post more often now that I'm not on course anymore...thanks for stopping by...xo
