I'm happy to say that the obstinate, belligerent man is gone...for the time being.
My son came home for the weekend, and we had a family dinner. My dad was so quiet at the table, despite all the commotion around him. I am very aware that A.D. is responsible for this, but I can't help but wonder what he is thinking about. It's like he's lost in space... His responses are almost always generic. What a thief this A.D. is. My opinionated dad has no opinions. Social skills - gone, except for politeness. Independent hygiene skills, nada.
Yesterday was my second Saturday with Lisa coming to stay with my dad. I did a few things outside the house with my son, and then took a nap. I wanna slap myself for doing that because I could have gotten things done. Oh well...it was a nice nap. :)

Hi Aunt Marcia! Thanks for the comment. We think Emma is a pretty cute baby, too... but we might be a little biased! :)
I am glad to find your blog! What a tremendous thing you are doing for your dad. I know it is extremely difficult to see a parent change like that before your eyes. We will keep you all in our prayers as you go through this challenging time.
Please don't ever feel bad about taking a nap.. you rarely get the chance to. Thanks for dinner. It was delicious as usual. What does A.D stand for?
A.D. = Alzheimer's Disease
oh...duh
