What a great group........

Hey everyone,

As there are two 'Jan's', I'll go by Rob, which has been my nickname

(within the family) since childhood. So enjoyed the nice emails, I have

learned so MUCH about DLB is just the last few days. What a baffling

disease. Mom has been extremely confused and out-there the last week

or. She has a dr.s appt today, will discuss 'meds', maybe she cannot

tolerate the Ex. Patch (4.6mg). I do not know if it is the medicine or

the progression of the disease but her behavior eps. yesterday and

today has been real stange.

Big changes in the air.

Everything started happening so fast, I am still in a whirlwind. The

family actually met yesterday and decided that we will be place Mom in

LPCF (The Belmont)about four miles from Sis. We have visited many

facilities and I believe, the Belmont is the best choice for Mom, at

this stage. The Belmont offers a 'Circle of Friends' program, which is

one-step b4 'The Neighborhood.' It is a lovely place, not to fancy and

I pray will give Mother the personal care they say that are. She will

have a limited amount of independence, a 'circle of friends', a

personal pal and an active schedule. Not knowing how she will progress

with DLB, atleast she may have some quality of life for the next yr or

so. Yes, it's expensive but she is financially OK for a few yrs and it

is not about the money anyway. I will help her every step of the way.

It feels right, it's 'falling into place' and Mom's moving on up to the

East side. She has always been a Christain woman, a good mother and a

wonderful friend. Yesterday it was her who got the conversation going

and once again, Mom was back.

Hopefully we will have her in by end of March. Of course, there's a

house to pack and sell. If I play my cards right,maybe I will get to

stay through the first Saturday in May, Derby Day.

I must remember to cherish every moment of these last few weeks in

the 'homestead' and tell her I love her everyday.

Thanks again for the advice and knowledge.

Rob,

This is such good news. Usually there is so much tooth pulling when it comes to

siblings so its nice to read about people coming together to do the right thing

by the LO. I hope you all find a great place for your mom and that she is happy

there.
