And now may the Lord bless you and keep you.

May the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you.

And may God grant unto you His peace-in your going out and in your coming in,

In your lying down and in your rising up,

In your labor and in your leisure,

In your laughter and in your tears,

Until you come to stand before Jesus

In that day in which there is no sunset and no dawning.

Amen

Changes for the better

After my last post I had resigned myself to letting DH go. Then what I will call a miracle happened. Due to some personal events that happened in DH life he has decided that he does want to live. He will do everything to keep himself healthy and if he starts getting sick he will pursue it. He has seen the doctor about his sleepiness and had another sleep study. They feel that they have ruled out an infection at this time.

DH is still adamant that if he is very ill no extreme measures will be taken to keep him alive. At the same time he is going to make sure that he takes care of himself. BIG hooray!

This is the best news in a very long time. We have a plan of action that does not involve letting him get ill again and then dieing. This is real progress for a very stubborn man.

Please keep praying for all dementia patients, their families and friends and caregivers. Bless you.
