Evie and I know that many who read this blog pray for us.
This blog serves several purposes for me. One is to let you know how you can pray for us.
As you may recall, my mom was diagnosed with Alzheimer's several years ago.
At the time, dad was much further into Vascular Dementia than mom was in her struggles with Alzheimer's. Dad's dementia was already advanced. Mom's condition was moderate.
-----------------
These days, mom is probably on the border of moderate and advanced Alzheimer's. For those who use the seven stages to categorize the disease, she's in Stage 5.
And, as is often the case with Alzheimer's, her temperament is changing and she's becoming hostile and angry.
As the disease progresses, Evie seems to be the object of mom's ire.
I have one brother and, for the moment, mom appears to believe that her sons can do no wrong...and that Evie is the source of every evil in her life.
With this disease, one really doesn't know what tomorrow will bring. But, for now, Evie's got a very tough row to hoe.
It's a difficult journey for all of us but, for the moment, especially for Evie.
