    About Me

    I'm #3 of 3. Daddy (mom's one and only) died in '99; about the time we began questioning Mama's memory. I've an older sister (#1) I share-care with tho' she's 180 miles away; (#2) our brother lives with cancer. I'm blessed to be in business with my spectacular husband and talented son. I'm a mom to 3 beautiful children; grandma to 8 of the best. I'm a practicing Christian with a dedicated Pastor who is our dearest friend. He now, too, is experiencing life with a needful parent.

    Interests

    The things I love: Family, lakes, mountains, dogs, woodlands, walks outdoors, floating on the water, Bible studies, music...life.

    Give LilysChild a hug

    • Hug

      From poshpaws July 22

      Hi, I too am a Lily's child. My Mum who died in 2002 was called Lilian. She had dementia after having mini strokes. Now my husband of 70yrs old has Alzheimers. I can itentify with you in this. I am a born again christian, but feel like a backslider as I resent him a lot of the time. Our life together has not been without problems,some quite serious and I.m angry at myself for being with him at all. But here we are and I don.t know if I can cope with his behaviour sometimes, or if I will go under. Please pray for us. x

      Merry Christmas to you, and all those you will share the Holidays with, and those you wish you could. And, I wish you sweet moments of peace and the joy of Christ's Birth.

      I do hope your continued absence is do to being so busy you don't have time to write a journal entry. Just wanted to let you know that you are missed and people are concerned about how life is treating you. When you have time please put up a wee bit about what you've been up to and don't worry about your communication skills, no one here is perfect and those who care aren't concerned wiht style, just you.

    • Close Alzheimer's Disease
      Stage: Advanced

      Doctors say early stages; the family disagrees. 4 times in 18months Mom passed screening tests with a 100%. Her easy, short conversations helped. But her daily behavior was becoming bizarre - confused, depressed, forgetful, agitated, audio hallucinations. She wouldn't have a social life; she chose to barricade herself at home drawing the drapes closed. Three months ago doctors began testing. 5.9.07 Aricept was prescribed; No mention of AD. On Mothers Day, she didn't know she gave birth to me.

      Prayer Working / Worked
      I pray alot. And stand firm on the 4th commandment. These are my strongest lines of defense.
