to you! You have been thru so much.

You MUST make time to take care of YOU! even if that means getting a friend to come sit with your brood, while you go for a walk, or to the store, or to a movie. If you cant get out of the house to get your time, make sure to pick a time when all are cared for in the house, and then escape to your room to see a pay per view movie, or read a book, take a long soak in the tub, or simply zone and look out the window. Its amazing how little things can refill your own cup. Please dont give from an empty cup.

You are doing great! Make sure you keep to a good schedule for mom, since dementia patients seem to do so much better when there is a schedule. even if you have to post it, it will help. 8am up and brush teeth. 8:30 breakfast, meet me in the kitchen. 9am dishes and so on. The DH should be getting stronger and stronger. If he keeps on with the big snores, you may want him checked for sleep apnea. If he is busy snoring all night, that means he isnt resting. that would wear a boy out.

you are my hero!
