Thanks, that's very kind of you to ask in the middle of all this!

She got worse (more delusional), and then over the last four days has gotten better. It's very interesting to see how DH can be more sensible and rational about my mom, and I'm the same about his mom. It's very hard seeing your own parent change so dramatically, and it's somehow easier to deal with it when it's someone else's mom. We still feel incredibly blessed that she was able to move to Givens Estates for assisted living. The staff that have the most contact with the residents (the CNAs and LPNs, the dining room staff) are incredibly patient, kind, and good-humored and (so far) very tolerant of her occasional fractiousness. The same is true of the higher-ups, but it's the daily contacts that seem to matter. I think they're killing her with Southern kindness! ;-)

Lol, I know, since I work at a Assisted Living also. Most are trained to use humor and kindness, when being around the residents. It’s usually more hard on family members when they are moved in. What really makes a big difference , is when family members are involved and visit when they can. You and your husband did the absolute best thing for her.
