I take care of my 90 year old grandmother who is in late stage AD. She does ok most days, and she is still mobile but very unsteady. She has no Idea who any of her family members are. The hardest thing to deal with is she lost 3 of her sons when she was not sick and they seem to be the 3 of the 5 children that she talks about. She will ask "where are the boys? Why won't they call me? I'm their mother, but they won't call me." It's so sad because we don't want to tell her they have passed, so we just tell her they love you grandma but just cant call right now. You can see the pain in her eyes. We have the house child proofed and she does ok but have an issue with sleeping. As I type this, she is on a 48 hour day. We have done everything we've read in books and tried it all but nothing seems to help. I love her so I will never give up with the grace of GOD.
