Living in the past? Sometimes just seeing things...

For the past couple of days My Grandmother who has alzeimers has basically layed down on the couch.  She'll get up to eat or go potty but that's about it.  She talks to me but she asks questions about people who've been gone 40 years or 20 at the earliest.  Then she sees this boy.  Yesterday evening she said "where is that boy going to sleep?" I said what boy?  "that boy that's in there in the living room" I thought she meant my husband so I said with me, we're married (cause she don't allow it if you're not) then she said "NO, not Timmy that other boy.  He's not going to sleep with me if he tries I'll call 911!)  So I had to take her through the house and show her that there was no boy.   Today "the boy" has been back, she's also said my two 1st cousins were here (15 and 9) and two little girls.  There's been no one here except me and my husband and her.  Is this something besides alzeimers.

Any ideas????
