2. Thanks to the cane I keep in the back of my car,
I was able to walk the 1/4 mile and back between the parking garage and hospital (construction going on)
3. The geriatrics nurse practitioner called and offered some much needed new information and advice and tips for me on how they’re planning to help manage dad’s sundowning when he’s past the flu and pneumonia. Honestly, it was like a light was turned back on in the tunnel of darkness I’ve been in.

Got a bit behind on my Small Moments posts. Yesterday was a hard day. They had to bring dad to the ER from the rehab facility as he’d had quite a sundowning episode. Turned out he has Flu A and pneumonia in the lower left lobe. No real symptoms, no abnormal temp, nothing.
Infections like this are known to make dementia sundowning episodes a lot worse. He’s on IV antibiotics and we are hoping to get a geriatric team consult to help navigate his journey in dementia. This is so hard.

I just had my mom up for the holiday. I truly thought only her body was failing but while I am used to repetition ( after all I have heard most of her stories ) she’s changing things around and it’s disturbing.
Events that I was present for happening before I was born , people at events who did not attend. I am calling her doctor tomorrow, thankfully I have medical POA.

Crisis averted. She saw ‘Mobil’ (the gas station) on her credit card statement and panicked because she had just set up an X account, after being constantly badgered into it by her Google searches. 🙃
