About me
I am an only child. My daddy died of brain cancer a year ago. I lived with my parents and cared for both of them for 5 months while he was sick. When he died, I moved my mother in with me and my husband. She has had AD for about 13 years and is in the moderate to severe stage. I work 4 to 5 days a week and have a sitter who cares for her on those days. My husband lost his job about the same time my dad died. We started a new business and he spends most of his time with that. My son helps out when he can, but most of the caregiving is left up to me and my sitter. It was harder at first, just getting used to being confined, but I have gotten more used to it. Sometimes I get depressed, but mostly I feel grateful, because things could be so much worse. God has been very good to us.
