    Your mom is beautiful. Looks like she really enjoyed the celebration.

    Your mom looks great, she is really pretty. I lost my father to alzheimers, he had it for quite a while though. I know it can be really tough I am sorry you are going through that.

    Thank you all so much. We think Mom was pretty thrilled although it stressed her out a bit. She stayed up way past her bedtime and shed quite a few tears but I think they were happy tears

    Her diagnosis is pretty recent (Jan 08) although we have suspected for about a year that things were changing significantly for Mom. Unfortunately her condition seems to be diminishing her quite rapidly We can only hope she plateaus at some point. She lives with my brother and his wife and they are wonderful with her. Also she has a Caregiver - Shirley - who comes in during the week. Shirley is a retired RN well experienced in Geriatrics and is an amazing woman - we would be so lost without her.

    Sara - I so agree with you and WISH I had inherited my Mom's hair It's all naturally silver white and she has so much of it - I'm so jealous

    Your mom looks so elegant and great.
    I am so sorry for her and for you and your family. You'll ned lots of force to go this way with her.

    What a charming party. It looks like she really enjoyed it.

    You might not have gotten your mother's hair, but I'm glad you inherited your mother's charming smile, though!

    Your mom appears to be quite the genteel lady, good skin, too. That's something that you either have or you don't and it seems you've inherited that from her, lucky gal. I'm sure that the tears she shed were tears of joy. How wonderful that she has family who cares and that she's still w/you. Enjoy each day w/your mom and try not to worry too much about the future. Let each day take care of itself. Many blessings to all of you....
    Blessings,
    Mary
