Its time to put it on virtual paper. My mom’s cognitive ability has declined rather dramatically in the last six months. I met with my brother and sil this morning to talk about what we need to do. This is so sad. There will be no happy ending here, it will only get worse. So here’s the plan:
1. Meet with mom’s doctor to discuss her memory lapses.Done
2. Take mom for blood tests Done
3. Take mom for memory test appointment on Dec 14th. Mom didn’t want to go to the first appointment we had
4. Talk to mom’s doctor after the memory assessment to determine how significant her cognitive deficits are. hopefully very soon after her test results are in
5. Determine what medical steps can or should be taken
6. Contact local senior center about area resources
7. Update Mom’s durable power of attorney for healthcare
8. Research care facilities in the area.
9. Figure out how to get my mom to stop driving without breaking her spirit.
