Living with Bob and "Al"

Sheri wonders about how to preserve Bob's (and everyone else's) dignity, young people that mean well, but don't understand these human beings have led a life, fathered children, learned many lessons, and served many people. Just because they can not communicate does not mean they can not hear you or understand you.
Sheri needs to pause praise and pray.

Sheri thanks all her friend for the many inquiries about how Sir Cooper is doing. He is doing very well! He is the sweetest little guy, and has been a great comfort to her. he even comes to work with her most days.  :)

Sheri has been wearing both Bob's wedding ring and her wedding ring. As she sat in front of  "the boys" she showed him the rings and said "Bob do you know what these are?" "Al" stuttered and stammered and Bob eventually mumbled "wedding wheels." Sheri will take it, God is good.

Sheri needs to admit that the "the boys" are not as zombie like as she expected. You can see they are drugged, and hazy eyed, but "they are still some what mobile and verbal. Obviously not sensibly verbal... but there is still some life in "them". Sheri thinks the care the doctor took in adjusting his meds is what has prevented total zombie-ism (is that a word?)  Sheri would encourage everyone to watch the videos she shared the link to a couple of days ago, and make sure the doctor treating your loved one has the same dedication to preserving as much function as possible. She knows this is short lived but she will take it.
Sheri is going to pause , praise and pray.

 Sheri is so thankful she recorded this conversation . Pardon the one upside down photo. This was several years ago now, he can not have these types of conversations now so very thankful for these memories. please click on the link below. I have added photos showing some of the progression of the diseases, and of course most of what he saying is not accurate... but in the end it is the love that comes through.
