Mom is very talkative, makes jokes every now and then. She gets fixated on certain things when she speaks.
For example, earlier today the answer to every geography question was Lake Charles. Where do you live, where did Stephen go to college, where are we now. Mom responded to each with, "Lake Charles".
The speech therapist compares it to a skipping record. We finally got her to answer Orange. Then the answer to everything became Orange.
I want to make sure there is someone here to talk with her, keep her oriented and remind her when she is speaking inappropriately. The speech therapist said we need to keep her grounded in reality.
If anyone is available to stay with Mom during the day and night this week please let me know. We would like to keep someone in the room at all times. I would prefer it to be family or close friends so that she will not be confused.
Let me know if you are able and willing to stay with her this week. Sonya and I can fill in the gaps. sewhunt@hotmail.com
