Mom has been feeling pretty well and has been eating very well. The PET scan went well yesterday and the results don't indicate any spread of the cancer. We'll meet with a radiation oncologist on October 7 to discuss treatment options. The memory has continued to be the biggest problem.
Today Mom went for a walk outside and got lost. Gwynedd called to say they couldn't find her for lunch and had everyone out looking for her. She was found out on a busy road after about an hour. Unfortunately there is no means of securing her whereabouts or tracking her at Gwynedd. She now must be transferred to a sister facility that has a secure unit. For now the closest available room is in Southampton. It's about 10-12 miles from Gwynedd. We'll move her tomorrow.
It's hard to say how much she grasps. If she's told something, she'll respond appropriately for a moment or two, but ten minutes later it's as if she never heard it. An hour after that she may recall some of it. For now her initial response to moving again is, "if that's what has to be then I'll do it". It is all very heartbreaking to watch, but it doesn't seem to bother her as much as it does the rest of us.
More info to follow as we get it.....
