There are 5.4 million people who have Alzheimer's. It cost 183 billion dollars in annual costs. Alz's is the 6th leading cause of death.
To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did.' When God takes something from your grasp, He's not punishing you, but merely opening your hands to receive something better. Concentrate on this sentence... 'The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.
WE LOVE HIM BECAUSE HE FIRST LOVED US
1 John 4: 9-10

Mom and Dad Happy Times.

Happy Easter!!!!

Greatest man in History, named Jesus, had no servants, yet they called Him Master. Had no degree, yet they called Him Teacher. Had no medicines, yet they called Him Healer. He had no army, yet kings feared Him. He won no military battles, yet he conquered the world. He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him. He was... buried in a tomb..., yet He lives today!!!!!


Happy Easter Everyone
 
 

It is raining. Has been for days. We have had hail, thunderstorms , tornadoes , more hail and lots more thunderstorms all week long. Here is a picture of some of our hail. It has melted a bit.
 No hunting Easter Eggs for the kids today. Outside anyway.
Mom and I have been watching Sunday Service on TV. Yesterday my brother put in a new sink and faucet in her bathroom. It looks great. Now I need to paint in there. But don't want her to have to smell the paint. She always hated that. The nurse is back to only coming once a week now. Which means mom is stable. Her aid still comes twice and will come more if I ask . But twice is enough . Sometimes waiting on the nurse and aid to come kind of stresses me out. So twice a week is good. I like the free supplies the aid brings more then the fact that she gives mom a bath . But I sure would miss her if she did not come. I do hate bathing mom. And mom hates getting a bath. My tip for today is Relax and let someone else cook the Easter meal. Have a great day everyone. And check out the http://blog.hospicefoundation.org/ they have a post on updated guidelines in the diagnoses of Alzheimer's.
