Our Alzheimer's Journey ~ 5/18/17

Jordan's condition continues to worsen. He is most likely in Stage 6 (of the 7 stages) of Alzheimer's. There are good days and awful days. There are good moments and awful moments.

1. He now has hallucinations. Objects appear to move. The floor is often wavy. Most recently, there are people who are in the hallucinations. This scares him. There are many, many people in these hallucinations.

2. I help him with dressing now. I pick out all of his clothes. Some days I need to help put items on...but not every day.

3. He wears 3 winter coats every day...He frets if he can not find his gloves (I can't find them).

Our Alzheimer's Journey ~ 5/7/17

I have to make a note about getting a new CPAP.  The vascular concern is not about the CPAP. It's about Jordan's diabetes. He's had bouts where the sugar was too high and his A1C was "out of control". It's believed that the extended periods of out of control diabetes have been a contributor to the vascular issues. There's also a chance that he had a very small stroke at some point. (A silent stroke).
