Wow what a day....

Wow , what a day.... I went to Meggans this morning to spend some time with her, she lost the baby yeaterday and with Matt out of town she was in need of some company and support. I was so happy to be there for her. I went over at 10 30 am and stayed until 2 45pm. Grammy R didn't want to go and I felt that she would be ok to stay for a couple of hours, as we have done that before. And Bruce would be home for lunch at noon and would stay until 1 pm. Well , little did I realize that this was not a good day to do it. I came home and she was doing ok but was very tired, and complaining about a back ache. She complains about her back from time to time... mine hurts to from time to time so I don't think to much about it with her, any way I asked her if she wanted to have some IB for the pain, and she said oh she had taken some already, well that is ok, except she proceeded to show me what she had taken and she had taken her Equate allergy pills, which is fine also except she had taken two, which also ok because it say's on the pill box that she can take two... so I went ahead and gave her the 2 IB for her pain in her back, well she went down stairs to take a nap because she was sleepy, the allergy pills do that to her any way and she had taken a double dose, well she came up about a half hour later and seemed alittle more lively, but as I started talking to her she was not able to make any sense of what she wanted to say, her words were gone, she not could not say two words that made any sense she was switching from one idea to another faster then I could keep up with.... it was bad, and I for the first time had a glimpes of what we have coming. And she knew she wasn't making sense so it was frustrating her... as I tryed to understand what was going on it occured to me that it must be the med's that made the condition worse, and she was still in a bad way when Bruce came home for supper . So..... yes I learned a couple of things, I can't leave her that long alone and two I need to be moving the med's that we have on the top shelve to a more secure place.... she is failing and we know that it is coming faster then we want . My heart aches for her.... and there is nothing we can do beyond love her and take care of her and keep her safe.
Now also her dog has been sick for a few weeks now, he has been coughing and sneezeing lately and we have had him to the dr. 3 times in the last 3 weeks, any way she is worried about him too and thinks he dying most of the time... she will start crying and get worked up over him, and she had done that this morning.... needless to stay she is struggling. But we are hanging in there and all is well with Bruce and I.
Well this is a long one.... sorry about that, just wanted to jot this down because I am kinda keeping these notes so I can kinda keep track of Grammy R journey... as they say it is a long journey with AD. Love ya all......
