I was grateful to all who took a look at Mom as they addressed her health concerns; I believe it was the most important part of providing her care. I wanted them to know, I saw them too.

Raised in Maine, I had spent the prior 24 years parenting, mostly in Wisconsin. With our adult kids in the process of leaving the nest, my mom moved in, from Maine, leading to precious time and daily opportunities I had never anticipated. I launched this site in 2017 as a way to share that experience, hoping to pass along what I was learning about Alzheimer's disease, to process the challenging parts, and to have some fun too. I never anticipated the way the community of readers would fuel me in staying the course. Today, I am deeply grateful for that, and so much more.

Thanks for sharing your different experiences with all the doctor’s your Mom and you are dealing with. It is so important that you advocate for your Mom. It sounds like you have been extremely busy. I hope your Mom heals quickly. So glad you are finding time to post on your blog.
Sending love from Maine. 🙂
