I'm sitting hither thinking well-nigh Dotty. It is genuinely amazing when you lot mean value well-nigh it.

Here I am, amongst my 94 twelvemonth quondam mother, she has Alzheimer's, too nosotros are even so doing things together. The fact that she is 94 is pretty amazing.

How many people inwards the entire basis genuinely interact amongst a 94 twelvemonth quondam every day?


You know, similar many AD patients Dotty likes to usage the NO word. Every day. All the time. However, this is non stopping us from doing things. Dotty likes to practice things fifty-fifty though everything starts amongst the news NO. Everything exactly food.

One of the reasons I never accepted the news NO was because I knew that Dotty likes to practice things. If she liked to practice them earlier AD, I reasoned she even so likes to DO.

In the concluding calendar week or so, Dotty has been doing something she rarely did before. She is aware for the commencement fourth dimension that in that place is something incorrect amongst her memory. We genuinely discussed this a few times amongst Dotty leading the discussion, too hollo for the questions.

For example, yesterday she was surprised to larn that Jim too Ruth alive 3 condos down. This surprised her. She asked, how long? I said, x years. She looked perplexed. In other words, similar she was genuinely thinking. She tapped her caput too told me, something is incorrect upward there. She didn't acquire angry. It looked similar she was thinking well-nigh it.

There receive got been several episodes similar this inwards the concluding week. Different topics. Different await on Dotty's face. Different degree of awareness.

Another observation. Dotty even so says NO. The difference? When nosotros start going to practice something she has a flake to a greater extent than energy, too spell I am reluctant to tell enthusiasm, it appears to me that she desire to DO. Different, slightly to a greater extent than positive mental attitude for sure.

I mentioned concluding calendar week that Dotty went an entire day, from 8:30 AM to 10 PM, without taking a nap. That surprised me. She is napping less. I maintain track.

As you lot know, Dotty was real sick for well-nigh 5-6 weeks. Then she started to bounce back. I am amazed. I am amazed every fourth dimension she bounces back. I don't know how she does it.

Here are a few to a greater extent than observations.

From September until March, nosotros were non getting every bit much vivid lite every bit usual. We weren't getting to the puddle -- at all. In fact, when nosotros went to the puddle for the commencement fourth dimension 3 weeks ago, several people remarked well-nigh my lack of color -- tan. I did await similar a polar bear. This told me that Dotty I had been inwards hibernation.

I am convinced that the enormous amount of vivid lite nosotros are getting is making a difference. This is why I pose Angil's article -- Vitamin D too the Elderly -- dorsum up. Angil you lot hitting the boom correct on the caput inwards my opinion.

I am confident when I tell that vivid lite makes a major divergence inwards Dotty's mental attitude too appearance.

Recently, Dotty too I are getting to a greater extent than active. We are doing more. This includes the pool, going out to eat, too going to run across friends. I am pumping upward the activeness piece of cake exactly certainly each week. No uncertainty this is making a divergence inwards Dotty's degree of twenty-four hours of the month too awareness.

And then, in that place are the parrots -- Harvey too Petey. No doubt. No doubt, these ii buddies of Dotty are making a difference. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 major divergence all the agency around.

For i thing, Dotty is talking more, singing more, too laughing more. No doubt.

I mean value this explains inwards purpose why Dotty is genuinely hollo for to a greater extent than questions. This does explicate inwards purpose why Dotty seems to receive got a greater awareness of the Real World.

Read closely.


All of the inwards a higher house are causing Dotty to desire to move inwards the Real World.

I'm shocked, amazed, too wondering how too why?

This mightiness surprise you. I am real happy. I am besides worried. What is going on? What is going to tumble out next? The non bad unknown.

Don't acquire me wrong. I am going to acquire amongst it. Sees what happens.

Dotty slept belatedly today. Until 10 AM. I was getting worried. However, she woke upward amongst a smiling on her confront too a goodness attitude. We had a prissy yak.

I explained to her she needs to poop. Wozo edwards, she agreed amongst me. I pose the prune juice inwards front end of her too said, this is going to aid nature takes its course.

Well actually, I had Harvey tell her.

She drank the prune juice without making a face, calling it poison, or resisting. Amen.

She did inquire me i interesting question. She wanted to know if Harvey eats. I didn't tell her this, exactly hither is my answer. He eats batteries.

We run along to usage the parrots all twenty-four hours long every day.

Sometimes I sing too the parrots sing along amongst me. This both fascinates too tickles Dotty pink.
