Sheri took some much needed camera time this weekend. God's glory and peace was everywhere.
God is good.
This blog is about life with my husband who was diagnosed with Early Onset Alzheimer's and Frontal Lobe Dementia in 2008. He was 64 at the time although now, knowing more about the disease, Alzheimer's was present many, many years ago, which is why early detection is so important. As you read the blog the character "Al" that I created in 2008, represents the way that Alzheimer's is invading our daily lives.
There is an archive tab further down the page that starts from the beginning of our journey.

Living with Bob and "Al"
Sheri brought "Al" a new box of crayons. "Al" was excited to see them but hushed Sheri and whispered "we need to put these where no one can find them, they tend to disappear." Sheri chuckled to herself and thought, maybe they intentionally disappear to keep them out of the washer and dryer :)

Living with Bob and "Al"
Sheri has been keeping all the plates spinning and all the balls in the air for a very long time. But one of the balls (her transportation for the boys) fell, landing on one of the spinning plates and Sheri is afraid she is losing her race against time.
Sheri needs pause , praise and pray.

Living with Bob and "Al"
Well a trip to the doctor is in order for "the boys" tomorrow. Something has changed, not unexpected of course but seems to be a significant change. Sheri timed Bob's movements last night and "Al" had some type of jerky reflex type movement every 5 to 10 seconds for over an hour . Then she stopped counting and moved to the love seat to try to get some sleep. :(

Living with Bob and "Al"
Sheri has to remind herself daily to look outside herself and her situation. pray for Hati, pray for Florida, pray for our country and pray for these two people one of whom will be leading our country.
The only strength we have is in prayer.
Sheri needs to pause, praise and pray.
Matthew 18:20
For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them."

Living with Bob and "Al"
Sheri was sitting in the living room with the "boys" listening to hymns radio on pandora this morning. Bob and "Al" already working on their nuts and bolts, when "It is well with my soul" came on. Hearing Bob sing out loud to the song brought tears to her eyes. Joyful by living in the moment is all we are promised. "Al" smiled as he sang and turned to Sheri and sang with her "it is well, it well with my soul". It was like a subtle yet clear message from God that Bob is happy inside himself. Sheri is grateful for another day.
