I was alarmed when I heard about it. It’s sad when I think of how your Dad was when I first met him compared now.

How is he today? Hope there are no negative effects brought about by the ingestion of candles.

mukhang okei naman na sya. rach, baket pag pumupunta kami sa blog mo, nagc-close yung explorer? hmmn. di tuloy ako makabasa or makapost minsan. after a while kse nagc-close e.

dapat talagang alalayan ang pag-inom as in at least 2 liters kung pwede. kasi a mom’s friend have a mild case of alzheimer at nakuha pang baligtarin dahil nga sa tinutukan nila when it comes to drinking liquid everyday. ito kasing MIL ko e konting konti lang din uminom, kaya everytime na pupunta ako sa kanya sinasabayan ko ng inom — bundat ako sa kakainom para lang uminom sya..

my mom in law also have alzheimer, pero mild pa lang. she still knows us and can still do everyday things pero she should always have someone with her… but her mind is more on the past na re during the war in the 40s… alam mo sabi nila, you need to give them enough water to drink daw, it helps a lot for circulation. my mom in law is turning 85 this dec… how old is your dad if i may ask? anyway, i dont really know what to say except that i ‘almost’ know what you are going through. mahirap pero kaya natin to dahil mahal natin sila. am praying for you and your family.

thanks mommy kengks. my dad’s only 65. he started out really makakalimutin lang. tipong tatanungin ka nya ng same question parang every 10 mins. we only knew about it being alzheimer’s pala when he fell off a tree and had a ct-scan. nag-shrink na daw brain nya pala. after that parang tuloy tuloy na. it’s depressing sometimes. but i try not to think about it too much. thanks for the tip about giving him lots of water. tamad nga sya uminom eh. tipong, kelangan talaga alalayan uminom, otherwise, nakakalimutan.

i know how bad you’re feeling right now. my grandfather had Alzheimer’s too. don’t feel to bad about it. a doctor once told us, “they might not be mentally well, but at least in their minds they think they are ok”. tipo bang, hindi nila alam na meron na pala sila sakit, pero cool pa rin sila. eh ganun talaga eh. cheer up! whether we all believe it or not, the fact still remains – GOD IS GOOD

thanks az. i try not to think too much about it na lang so i don’t get down. minsan nga lang, mahirap. buti pa yung sinabi ng doctor sa inyo. kahit papano uplifting. ang iba kse ang sinasabi he could get worse pa daw. magiging violent pa daw. ganun na nga rin sya ngayon, paminsan minsan.

syet! di ko alam ano dapat ko ma-feel sa entry mo na ‘to. ibang klase talaga ang disease na yan. marami akong nakitang may ganyan nung nag OJT kami sa Home fo the Aged dito sa lugar namin. nakakadurog ng puso at halo-halo ang nararamdaman ko. siguro, kelangan bantayan na lang si daddy mo ng mabuti…yung laging may kasama o katabi. i feel you, sis.

thanks sexy mama. it really is hard. but we’re trying to be strong about this. ang hirap talaga. and sometimes, it really gets me down. ang iniisip ko na lang — even if he’s not mentally healthy, at least physically he’s alright. yun na lang ang pampalubag loob ko. most nights, i cry talaga mama. kaya lang, if it’s god’s will, wala talaga ako magagawa eh. thanks mama. it gets me down sometimes, pag naiisip ko yung sakit nya. haay.
