CAREGIVER NOTE:

I think we’ll all be grateful when the pending sale goes through. Anxiety levels about “what could go wrong” are through the roof; disrupting sleeping, eating routines and more. Thankfully, the “going wrong” moments are few and far between. He’s very anxious about things, however, and no matter what we choose to try to distract him with, doesn’t work for very long. Counting down the days until the closing…. and hopefully, he’ll be able to rest a little easier for a while.

CAREGIVER NOTE:

His eyes light up when he shares a story — even after repeating it for the 5th time. It was fun to watch the animation and joy he had has he re-lived the stories he was sharing. He’d rewind occasionally and regal me with a slightly different version — embellished just slightly. He’s very proud of his family.

CAREGIVER NOTE:

Kindness goes a long way… even on a not so good sort of day. We’ve had quite a few of those lately. Lots of sundowning and hallucinations the last 2 weeks or so. He swears he’s done walk throughs of the old house — fixed problems and more.

Grateful for the garden. He is enjoying it and goes out every afternoon to “watch it grow” and marvel at the ever so slight and bigger changes he does notice. He’s very happy with the garden — hoping it will keep him happy for a while longer — or until he can harvest at least one of the cabbages that are growing in the garden.
