My mother is too. It's tough not only for the patient but the care giver too. At first for me it was so hard to understand. Sometimes it still is. I do the best for her each day and night and still cherish every moment I have with her. It's almost like are situations are reversed. I will gladly take care of her forever if I could. She takes a fairly new medication called "Namenda". I don't know exactly how much it helps her but it seems to have slowed the progression of the disease somewhat. I wish you and your mom well.

Its tough when they say the same thing 50 times a day....Its like taking care of a child and they can't help it.. Today,my mom asked me about a knick knack and who gave it to her...I gave her the gambling knick knack 4 weeks ago for mothers day..She loves gambling and right now I take her to breakfast and the casino every day....In six months,she won't be here[at least not mentally]...I hope all goes good for your mom and you..I will keep you in my prayers....
