CAREGIVER NOTE:

More sundowning — he woke up about an hour after going to bed and was out of sorts with another “niggling” of a memory about a document that hadn’t been completed correctly and didn’t match a second one he had signed. A call to a son earlier in the day helped for a few hours, but it was back again last evening. Once we’d worked through the memory — he claims had occurred just a day ago, I think we finally figured out where and why he was getting hung up on it. We talked it through a couple more times — and our last review of the incident didn’t come with any added, “….but’s” in the next sentence! We’ll see how things roll out today. 

We ended the late evening with a collection of previously unheard stories and that were fun to hear and the expressions on his face were delightful to watch as he shared (and reshared) one of the stories about his dad riding a plow driven by a couple of feisty horses. He was able to sleep through the rest of the night with no additional anxiety or trouble. YAY!
