Tia,

This must be so hard for you. Your mother is lucky to have you helping her, although given her condition, she might not be able to appreciate that.

Sending you hugs,
Mary Ellen
PS I am in Washington, but on the other side of the state.
----- snip-----I leave Wednesday to drive down to Washington, grab my mother, and take her
to a geriatric psych ward for an evaluation. Her dementia is getting worse
fast, and she's started hitting people where she lives.

Thanks Mary Ellen. Actually, at this point she still does appreciated it.
It's sure been interesting exchanging roles with her. <g>

I talked yesterday with a woman who runs an adult family home. I was
intrigued when she asked if my mother had been a good mama to me. She had
lots of neat things to say about how she relates to older people. I don't
know if we'll choose that one though. She started dropping little hints
that she's a heavy duty Christian. I'm actually hoping that she did it
because she thought somehow that I was. If that's the case, she might be
able to refrain from preaching or doing the Christian dance around my
mother, a lifelong atheist. Otherwise, I wouldn't move her in there.
