Hi Everyone:  It's been a while since I've written and kind of missed the gang here!  My mother is still hanging in there and so am I.  But she seems to have moved to a different level.  She still hallucinates often enough.  But for the past month her nights have been surprisingly quiet and restful.  Also, and more upsetting to me, she seems to have "gone into herself".  She's unresponsive, overly sleepy, joyless (no surprise there) and almost lifeless.  It's like her spirit is shutting down.  I keep thinking that I'm prepared for continual decline.  But this hurts as much as anything else that's happened to her.  I don't really expect any solutions, but would like to hear from you guys.

 

Thanks for being there.
