Out with the bad, in with the good.

I have bid a fond farewell to 2008, and am fervently hoping that 2009 brings health, healing and happiness for Mom!

Last night was kind of rough... Mom didn't know who I was. All three of us were in her room following her EEG; we'd been talking about silly things. She turned to my Dad and asked him, "Where's Dana?"

I told her, "I'm right here, Mom. Who are you looking for?"

She turned to me and said, "Dana".

I asked her who she thought I was, and she replied, "I don't know."

It broke my heart just a little bit. I am hoping that the memory issues are just from the cocktail of drugs that she's on, and not from any sort of permanent problem.

We'll all be in to see her a little later this morning. I'm hopeful that we'll see the fog start to lift as the doctors scale back the meds, and that the improvements start to come fast and furious.
