Journaling my day-to-day experience caring for my family through my hubby's Alzheimer's diagnosis.
This is such an incredibly tough journey for me too. I’m so new to all of it, and with every change in his condition, I find myself having to learn and adjust in the moment. I’m doing my best to hold onto every word, every moment, and every bit of strength along the way. 💙

Over the past few weeks, I’ve noticed some changes; he’s losing more words in his speech, and right now, he can hold onto only a few words per sentence. It’s a hard part of the journey, but I’m cherishing every word we still get to share.

I haven't updated much on my husband’s journey as I was locked outiftheaccountfor months, since then we have started his treatment program. We’re now on round 6 of 38 with his Alzheimer’s infusion treatment.

Hubs have been discussing us going on a cruise for a year. We went to book it for the summer yesterday. It was not easy bcas he couldn't process all the info. I want him to do some fun things, but he's becoming more anxious about going far from home. Got home and he asked me to cancel the cruise.

Hubby has been more anxious lately, His New habit is to touch things. His habit of touching things, particularly objects that seemed out of place, stemmed from his compulsive need for order, symmetry, and control.

Life has been going forward, even though things have changed. We try to find some kind of happiness in any little way possible.

There are going to be a lot of firsts in this journey, and I'll learn from each one.

Today was a tough one. I woke knowing it would be challenging, as it was the day my hubby wanted to go Christmas shopping. We made it to one store before he became completely overwhelmed and started to become grumpy.

Flu knocked me out this week, and it’s a harsh reminder of what happens when I neglect self-care. Hydration, rest, and balance aren’t just buzzwords, they’re necessary. Lesson learned the hard way. Take care of yourselves out there! 💬

I sent my sister a photo of my Thanksgiving dinner outfit, and she asked if my daughter styled it. What have I become?

Been having daily mini lunch and dinner dates with my daughter most days since she's been here.

My daughter is here with us for Thanksgiving, so there is lots of laughter in the house. It's actually her first time in the US, and she's not staying in a hotel.

I am sitting here waiting for my hubby. He forgot about me again #earlyonset #Alzheimer’s. We are getting our tree, yay.

Probably the happiest I've been in a very long time.
