My mother has had alzheimers for 2yrs. She was repeating things and very confused. Two months ago she went from stage 2 to 4. Almost overnight. She is in a nursing home
and I can not belive the change in her,she does not sleep
she says "help me" "help me" when I ask what is wrong she will say I don't know. She is not eating she has lost 20 lbs in 2 months. She is catherized because her bladder won't empty. I don't know what to do at this point I can not believe this has all happened so quickly. I feel like I should be doing more and i don't know what to do. Sometimes she knows me sometimes she calls me YOU. I visit her every day but the stress on me is unbeliveable when I am not with her I call the nursing home to see if she is o.k.
Can this disease move this quickly. My grandfather had it and now Mom. Will I get it also???? Someone reply. Please!!

I have been receiving THE RIBBON since its inception. As a caregiver for my mother who has Alzheimer's, it has taught me patience, understanding and has been most helpful with my responsibilities. Searching through this site, I am equally impressed with the dedication and contributions.
Congrats to all who have made this possible. It is very much appreciated.

THE RIBBON WEBSITE IS A VERY GOOD PLACE TO VISIT FOR ANYONE WHO IS EXPERIENCING CAREGIVING A LOVED ONE. I WAS CAREGIVER FOR MY MOM FOR TWO YEARS UNTIL POOR CIRCULATION (VASCULAR DISEASE) `CAUSED HER TO HAVE AN AMPUTATION OF THE TOE. WE`RE STILL AREN`T QUITE SURE HOW LONG THIS PROBLEM WILL EXIST. RIGHT NOW MOM IS IN THE CHAPEL HILL REHABILITATION CENTER, CHAPEL HILL, N.C.
HAVE WRITTEN POETRY ABOUT MOM AND FAMILY AND THIS TERRIBLE DISEASE, FEEL FREE TO VISIT AND SEE WHAT I HAVE WRITTEN, I WILL BE RETURNING TO YOUR WEBPAGES!
GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS,
SYLVIA ALLISON

My mother-in-law was diagnozed 1 year ago. I need beginner help. It's starting to get bad, and I';m afraid her son (my husband) and her other son are in denial. there are only 2 sons which are near by. But it seems the daughter-in-laws are the ones to take charge. How do we get her to stop driving and move out of her house? I'm not sure trying to reason is the right way?! I want to sabotage her car, so she can't drive anymore. Am I wrong?

This is wonderful. I took care of my father for 2 years until I had no choice but to put him in a nursing home. I visit at least twice a week. Thought you might like the poem that I wrote, which I include here.
THE VISIT
By JoAnn 714 2/16/98
A VISIT TO THE NURSING HOME
WITH MANY PEOPLE HERE AND THERE
A GRAY-HAIRED MAN IS ALL ALONE
SITTING QUIETLY IN HIS CHAIR
HE SEES MY FACE, I TRY TO SMILE
AND I SIT CLOSE BY HIS SIDE
I TRY TO CHAT OR MAKE HIM LAUGH
BUT HIS BEWILDERMENT HE CAN'T HIDE
I TELL HIM OF MY LOVE FOR HIM
AND HE TELLS ME HE LOVES ME TOO
THEN HE LOOKS AWAY AND HE JUST STARES
AND I WONDER HOW CAN THIS BE TRUE
FOR THOSE WHO WONDER WHY I CRY
IT BREAKS MY HEART YOU SEE
TO LOOK INTO THOSE EMPTY EYES
WHERE MY DADDY USED TO BE
