Revelation

I have realized that the various hospitalizations that DH has experienced over the last two and a half years has played havoc with his memory. Several times lately when I say something about a plan that has been made and discussed with him he replies "It's nice you finely told me about this". It is more irritating that anything else. BUT...it may be a symptom that I need to watch.

DH is off all of his medication for dementia. The neurologist reminded me that I should look for symptoms and I think this may be one of them. As soon as DH is reminded he remembers that he already knows. The look on his face is one of pain.

Please continue to pray for all dementia patients, their families, friends and caregivers. They need all the prayers that they can get!

Recovering

DH has been home from the hospital for a week and a half. He is very worried that this will happen again. He is having memory issues. We are still adjusting his medications from what the hospital physician set up to what he really needs. It is a daily or weekly process.

We are must closer than before. Today is our 15th wedding anniversary. This time around he didn't spend a lot of recovery in rehab and therefore we are recovering together. This is very special in our marriage. I think we have taken a major step forward and it feels good.

Please continue to pray for all dementia patients, their families and friends and their care givers. They need all the prayers we can make.
