A very successful trip

We had a great time in Orlando.

GS had his first Magic Kingdom experience, Epcot experience, Discovery Cove with dolphin encounter experience, Disney Hollywood experience, Sea World experience and Blizzard Beach experience. I need to get my photos into my blogs so that I can share them...but you should have seen the smile on this little boy when that dolphin took off swimming with the two of them!

DH rented a scooter to get around Walt Disney World and walked with his brace at Gatorland. He rented a Harley Davidson MC and had a blast. I didn't have the time to ride with him, but that's another story.

I spent so many hours snorkeling at Discovery Cover that I ended up twisting my neck and the next day had to deal with some vertigo. It's all gone now. The memories of snorkeling with the fish and manta rays (barbs removed) will always be with me.

DH is having more short term memory lapses. I will have to start up a diary so that I can keep track of them. They are minor and do not scare me, but they are increasing. It is to be expected and I am not having the difficulties that I had with it the first time through. This is much more gradual.

Please keep praying for all dementia patients and their extended family and friends as they deal with the issues of this disease.

24 hours and we leave for Orlando

Our big vacation starts Thursday when we leave for Orlando, FL for a full family vacation. DH, our daughter, our son-in-law and grandson (O and me too) are going to earn our Mickey Mouse ears. I haven't had a set since the original Mickey Mouse Club was on TV in the 1950's. Oh, dear, did I give my generational age away?

DH is still having a great deal of clarity. It's like 2008 never happened. Well almost. There are still a few occasions of short term memory lapse, but some of them are literally just a oops I forget that and not a I don't remember that at all.

He still believes that he is not a dementia patient, but will not stop taking the Namenda to test his belief. Thank God for that!

Cannot wait to get where it is warm. It snowed here yesterday! The ground was warm enough that it melted, but still snow in April.

Please keep praying for all dementia patients and thank you for your prayers.
