My Mom had always been afraid of Dementia. My Grandmother (Her Mother), had it. She was always terrified of it and would not get tested....
...Now, many years later my Mom was diagnosed with Pneumonia. While she was in the Hospital, her Dementia began to surface even more. She, even herself, admitted to lots of forgetfulness.
I used to talk to her Weekly/Monthly. When she went into the hospital for Pneumonia, she seemed to forget who I was.
Just recently her friend sent a video: My Mom kicking her feet and waiting to say "Hi Michael!"
It was like watching a 12yo girl.
I know a lot of you don't like me, but maybe just a little bit of hope and a prayer?
--Mike
