Each day is a new day and proves God's faithfulness to us. My brother continues to be mom's primary caregiver along with Penny, the lady we've hired to help with her care. Hospice continues to come to the house each day which gives Penny a bit of a break. I try to visit and help out each day as I'm able.
It's such a challenge to try to figure out how to console mom when she's restless. We don't know if she's scared. She doesn't appear to be in pain, but then again, she really can't tell us. She spends each day either in bed or her chair and we're looking forward to some warm days when we can finally take her outside.
These past two nights have been rough nights for Penny and John. Please pray that we can figure out what's bothering her or give her the right medicine to help calm any pain or anxiety she may be having.
Also, we'd ask for prayer as brother John and I continue to balance "life" with spending time with mom. John's got a full plate right now with work, filling out various paperwork and doing mom's taxes as her POA, as well as other things. We continue to home school and try to help out where we can.
We appreciate that so many continue to check for updates and we'll keep you posted on any changes.

Jackie was diagnosed with Primary Progressive Aphasia about 6 years ago. This condition is also known as Frontal Temporal Dementia. Although considered dementia, this is not Alzheimer's disease. It affects the frontal lobes of the brain. As a result, Jackie's ability to communicate has been affected and she can no longer speak. She still knows loved ones for which we're thankful. She is now in end stage dementia and under the care of hospice in her own home.
