Mum with moderate AD diagnsoed June 13, has been on 5mg Donepezil for now over a year. 10mg didn't agree with her tummy.
Since Christmas her short term memory and cognitive function has declined further.
Mum has known my husband for 28 yrs. Mum & Dad live in their own house at the back of our property and have done for 8 yrs.
Yesterday, although my husband did have his back to Mum while we were outside in the garden talking, she did not recognise him.
There is no mistaking my husband, as he has very short hair with a scar from head surgery or his voice but yet Mum still didn't know who I was talking to until he turned around.
On Sunday morning Mum woke, insisting it was Monday and she had to get ready for her group. Dad told her it was Sunday , but she would not beleive him, despite all our cars in our driveway, she thought we were at work and the kids were at school.
She insisted Dad was trying to make her late, and Dad said she was getting quite stroppy.
Once she saw me come out my house and looked at her calendar she accepted the fact it was Sunday.
She can now repeat the same sentence 3 or 4 times in the space of 5 minutes.
Mum has just had blood tests and urine tests done end of last week, which were all clear.
Funnily enough when she saw her GP, she was virtually right as rain
She has an appt in May to see the geriatrician.
