I have kept up with you through fb too. So sorry for you having to go through this. Our family went through watching my father-in-law dealing with a very fast moving form of dementia that finally took his life so I do understand how hard that is. Just remember in the coming days and weeks to rest in the Father's loving arms and that we are praying for you and your family. fourkidsmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13744896448141690359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466688981552322075.post-58902451853754572002013-09-09T07:08:30.967-05:002013-09-09T07:08:30.967-05:00Thanks Betsy, it's been a rough road but the h...Thanks Betsy, it's been a rough road but the healing now begins.

Never doubt that you are doing the wrong thing, you are taking care of your parents in the same way they took care of you. I wrote many things on the blog about those rough days, and tried my best to share the things I learned along the way about Medicaid and the difference the right medicine and caregiving that was specifically for dementia/alzheimers. It made such a difference in Mom's life and now my father in law. I'd love to share, something to help you on your impossible days.
