Mickey

Lynna's mom, Mickey, will be 92 this August. She was widowed years ago & lived a very independent and active life for many years. She had a cottage at Lakeside Assisted Living nearby, but came to live with us in January when she was unable to continue living on her own.

To accomplish this, I needed to quickly finish the West Bedroom & Bathroom trim & hang the closet doors.

Everything got done in good time and that part of the house is much improved.

Mickey is much doing better but there have been a few setbacks along the way. Her doctor continues to search for a more effective medication to slow & moderate the progress of her dementia. A caretaker comes daily to take some of the load off Lynna.

Sometimes Mickey has "Sundowning" episodes but I secured all our gates & she is always back to normal the next morning. We have visited all the memory care facilities in our area and found a few that are acceptable, but for now, the present arrangement is still her best option. Mickey is able to attend church with us on Sundays & still enjoys lunch out afterwards.
