There tin flaming last trivial incertitude that Harvey in addition to Petey (the toy parrots) heightened Dotty's awareness.

However, I don't desire to mislead anyone, they did non halt the progression of her Alzheimer's disease.

Did they tiresome downward the progression of dementia? I believe they did.

After interacting amongst Harvey, Dotty smiled, laughed in addition to sang to a greater extent than often.

She also drove me crazy at times.

The heightened awareness turned her dorsum into a hunter. She was constantly hunting for food.

One time,  I caught Dotty inwards the kitchen correct after tiffin scavenging for food.

She was eating a peanut butter bar spell trying to acquire a 2d i out of the wrapper. The argue she couldn't acquire it opened upwardly was because she had ii glazed donuts inwards her hand. She had procured the donuts from the freezer.

Hiding the donuts inwards the freezer worked for a span of years until Dotty turned backed into a hunter.

Next, I noticed that Dotty had opened a bundle of peanut butters cracker in addition to had eaten 4 of the vi crackers.

Right earlier all of this, Dotty had a one-half of a turkey thorax sandwich, 3 olives, one-half an orange, a slice of celery, in addition to i babe carrot. And, the dreaded prune juice (which worked today I mightiness add, in addition to I hateful worked).

Before I made it to Alzheimer's World this form of demeanor drove me nuts.

Do y'all allow behaviors that hap over in addition to over to curvature y'all out of shape?

I did for a real long fourth dimension spell caring for Dotty.

But after my large pace into Alzheimer's World, I only shook my caput in addition to laughed.

At the fourth dimension of the episode described above, I set the donuts dorsum inwards the freezer. Then I said to Dotty, choice peanut butter crackers or peanut bar. She took the bar in addition to I shuffled her out of the kitchen.

For the adjacent 3 hours Dotty looked similar she had been dipped inwards doo doo.

She was non a happy camper. However, she did non endeavor to run for the comprehend of her sleeping accommodation similar she had earlier we made it to Alzheimer's World together.

Her funk continued until I announced that I would brand her i of her favorites -- the dear hot roast beef sandwich amongst mashed potatoes in addition to light-green beans.

For years, Dotty would complain well-nigh the size of the portions -- important they were also small. Finally, I learned how to brand the modest portions aspect large yesteryear spreading them all over the plate. You figure this materials out inwards Alzheimer's World because y'all focus on the number instead of complaining, explaining, in addition to venting.

The unproblematic alter inwards the organisation of the nutrient changed the agency Dotty looked at her food. Instead of complaining she would tell -- aspect at all the food. I can't consume all that. Then she scarfed it all down.

We did bring i real odd 2d early a Lord's Day morning.

Dotty woke upwardly around 6:30 AM. The adjacent affair I know I remove heed her yelling --

  Bobby, Bobby, lets acquire the h*** out of here. 

While I was making my agency there, I yelled dorsum -- what is incorrect Mom.

Dotty continued to vociferation lets acquire the h***  out of here. I got in that place in addition to I asked her,

where are nosotros going?

She said -- home.

Before Alzheimer's world, this would bring sent me into a bluish funk amongst a enormous heartache.

Oddly at the time, I laughed in addition to said Mom, we are home -- correct Harvey.

Right on cue Harvey chirped -- We are Home Dotty, We are Home Dotty.

Then something happened that I did non await in addition to had never seen before.

Dotty kinda shook her caput in addition to said, in that place must last something incorrect amongst me.

I asked, what's wrong? She continued shaking her caput in addition to said, I don't know but something is non correct amongst me.

Dotty, however,  did non acquire all disoriented in addition to bent out of form similar she had inwards the past; and, I didn't offset falling into a deep bluish funk.

Instead nosotros moved correct into our commons forenoon routine, which included Dotty talking to Harvey. Then all was well.

In gild to communicate effectively amongst a somebody who is deeply forgetful y'all must acquire to aspect at the footing from their yell for of view.

Once I started looking at the footing from Dotty's perspective all things seemed normal.

Amazingly, I was no longer angry, confused, or bent out of shape.

Instead I looked on inwards amazement.

I re-learned what I already knew, Dotty was a existent grapheme fifty-fifty though she was living amongst Alzheimer's.

Once I flora this novel identify - Alzheimer's World - the venting stopped, in addition to the joy of living returned.

Frankly, the entire episode startled in addition to amazed me equally I idea well-nigh it subsequently on. So much in addition to thence that I genuinely said to myself -- you've come upwardly a long agency baby.
