During the course of the last year, there have been many challenges and set-backs. As my mother's disease progressed, it became clear that she needed more specialized care and we placed her in a memory-care facility last October 2022. It was a difficult decision, and one that left my dad alone in my childhood home, without his lovely wife of 64 years. Then, in April 2023, my mother fell and broke her hip and femur bone. It was a very bad break, which confined her to a wheel-chair for nearly 3 months. Our biggest fear was that she would never walk again given her cognitive deficits. I'm happy to share that after intensive rehabilitation, she CAN walk!
Without question, my mother's disease is progressing, and there is little anyone can do about that. I can only continue to shed light on her, and the countless other families on this same journey. Please, consider making a donation to my fundraiser, and help me help others!
Sincerely,
Dana
