Hi Everyone. I’m sorry that I haven’t done well at keeping you posted. We’ve had lots of ups and downs and I’ve had difficulty putting it into words. Mom’s blood pressure has been faltering and when it gets low, it’s so terribly hard for her to think straight. We really haven’t had to deal with much depression for Mom, before this. But, this past week, it’s been sneaking up on us. Especially when her BP is low, she is struggling with her disposition. It’s finally sinking in that this is a long hard road and she’s very aware that she can’t take care of herself…….and that this is mostly because she isn’t reasoning well on her own. Mom has always been so independent, and this is a very hard thing for her to accept. Please pray for her ability to care for herself and for my patience and stamina to hold up. She’s sleeping much better, and our lives are finding a sense of normalcy. Thank you for your calls and cards. They all mean so much. Love you, Mary
