Husband and I recently celebrated our second wedding anniversary. I have to say, married life is wonderful and there truly is no other person I’d want to spend my life with. He’s been my rock, my best friend, really, my everything. He’s been remarkable with dealing with my family situation, so much more than I could [...]

Husband and I are getting ready to leave for a trip to New Orleans with Hubby’s family and then a trip to Las Vegas right after that to meet up with some of our Aussie friends that are traveling the US. We’re looking forward to a holiday, a hectic one at best, but I wish it was just [...]

Today Mom and I took Dad to the neurologist for a regularly scheduled check up. Overall things went pretty well. The doc did all the usual tests however, there were a few changes in Dad’s abilities.

A little while back we found out the bands, America and Creedence Clearwater Revisited (basically all the CCR members except John Fogerty), were going to appear in concert, locally. These bands are two of Dad’s favorites. He just loves them. Unfortunately, Dad was doing rather poorly in the health department and therefore buying tickets for [...]

Things seem to be getting better for Dad. I think the Namenda is finally kicking in coupled with a reduction in his daily Sinemet.
