Last Thursday we rushed Jan to the Emergency Room due to her reaction to our examination. We thought she had another UTI infection and it had gone Septic. That was not the case at all. All the doctors thought that she had fallen. We are not aware of her falling either at home or at Autumn Leaves. She was given a strong shot of steroids while at the hospital on Thursday afternoon. Upon reflection she began to get better from that point forward until she was released on Tuesday next week.
Last night the same signs began to return with increased vomiting and dry heaves.
A doctor looked at her today and we have started her on steroids again to help relive the pressure. I pray that we can find a treatment that will allow her to lead a normal Alzheimer's life and not one filled with vomiting. Of course, what is a normal life for someone with Alzheimer's, they are all different in most ways.

I spent some time with Jan on Friday...I was sad to see fewer smiles. I had not known about the problems she was experiencing on Thursday. But we walked our halls and I talked about different family members...she always lights up when Kami's name is mentioned...
