I so hope something positive came about for you.<br /><br />I agree with Debby's comment about Jack. What a difficult visit, but necessary too. And for you, just one more thing to break your heart into a million pieces. <br /><br />Alzheimer’s is so strange. I remember my brothers and I visiting my dad and thinking if anyone wanted to see him/talk with him, the time was NOW. So, we alerted family. A week later, a family member visited my dad and was greeted with an enthusiastic, “hi Don!” My dad then went on to talk with Don about previous times as if nothing was the matter with him… Don thought my brothers and I were a little nuts for alarming him.<br /><br />The only reason I mention it is that perhaps Jack’s visit will be one of those upward swings, and just MAYBE not overwhelmingly shocking. Maybe. Like you say, with Alzheimer’s you just never know. Whatever happens, YOU will be there for your son and that will count for a lot.<br /><br />Hoping you have a good day today!<br /><br />Sincerely,<br /><br />Becky <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8803312879276025905.post-23476789793661967942013-02-06T13:26:08.458-08:002013-02-06T13:26:08.458-08:00I think it's good for Jack to come home.

Maybe it will give you a little break as well. Maybe you and Jack can go out for lunch if you have some help by then. It isn't unusual for them to remember something from the past. I amamazed that he was studying before the appt. knowing he would be quized. My dad hated his appt.s as well. The doctor would take him on walks and then have my dad lead the way back. My dad of course would get lost and that made him mad. He said that the doctor did that on purpose. I'm sorry that things are getting worse for you. Hope God gives you the strength that you need.Debbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04242778760582160429noreply@blogger.com
