Hi all..
My mom is in the later stages of AD..she recognises myself and my sister and my dad..at the moment..even tho sometimes when I have been..she has smiled at me..given me a kiss..and then she sits and stares and frowns at me..I presume she is trying to work out who I am..and that hurts...but what I want to know..if anyone can give me an answer..is this summertime..my sister is due to visit from abroad...my sister is older than me..now she hasnt visited mom here for over 5yrs..mom wasnt too bad when she last came to UK..but obviously mom has deteriorated tremendously in those 5yrs...my sister knows this as we keep in touch a couple of times a week..but what I want to know..is will my mom recognise my sister do you think? I am really worrying about this for some reason...I have tried to prepare my sister for the 'shock' of seeing mom..but it not being mom..so to speak....and I think she is also apprehensive of moms reaction to her...I keep telling mom that she is coming to see her in the summertime..sometimes she has no idea who I am on about..and another time her little face will light up..and I think then she knows my other sister..has anyone had any experience of this and if so..how did it go..I know I am asking an impossible question...just wondered thats all...its preying on my mind...
Thanks
Caroline
