a journal about keeping the memories of my mother who suffers with Lewy Body Dementia
On November 13, 2010 I gladly became the primary caregiver of my mother. She has Lewy Body Dementia, the second most common memory loss condition after Alzhiemers. I knew nothing about Lewy Body Dementia until I brought Mom to Indiana to live with me. My mother is a resident at the Waters of Covington, a rehabilitation center near our home. I would like to have her live with us but her care is more then one person can provide. The staff at the Waters fell in love with Mom immediately. She may be losing her memory and her ability to care for herself but she hasn't lost her sense of humor or her gentle grace. This blog is meant to be a journal of our days together.
On May 15, 2011 My Mother peacefully and fearlessly passed into the here after. Now I journey alone, yet not alone. I have a lifetime of memories.

Mom Is In The Hospital
She has embolisms in both legs and both lungs. I REALLY thought she was dying Monday night. But, she is still with me. She also has a bed sore. Nurses where great Monday night. She is in a little hospital with only 11 beds. Lots of emotions. I'm not sure which ones are valid and which ones are just me over reacating. I'll write more when I can sort everything out.
