A few months ago, I left my job as a child welfare social worker to care for my mother-in-law. She suffers from Altzeimer's Disease. The purpose of this blog is to document our experience with caretaking for Alma while keeping friends and family up with the progression of this difficult disease.

bad dreams
I went in to check on Alma this morning and she was huddled under her covers and their were clothes strewn all over the room. When I called out her name, she peeked out from under the blanket and I noticed she had been crying. She told me she was scared. I sat with her for a while while she told me about a childhood memory. She wasn't sure if it was a dream or real. I'm guessing it was a combination of the two. I just sat with her for a while while she talked. I'm not sure how much to share here. While I believe that a full disclosure will be the most beneficial to those who choose to read this (as well as for my own personal need to keep track daily), I want to do so in a way that best protects Alma.
