Finding Lynn
HEY GUYS!!!
As many of you know Alzheimer's hits very close to home as my Nanny is now in the last couple stages of it. In 2015, my grandma was diagnosed and in 2016 she could no longer take care of herself. She then became roomies with my mom and I - us being her full-time caregivers in our home. On December 25th, 2018 we spent our Christmas and the next following 7 weeks in the hospital with her as a stroke took a drastic decline on her Alzheimer's and Vascular Dementia, leaving her barely walking, speaking and raising all agitation. I then ended up taking a Leave of Absence from work to stay with her at home as she no longer could be left alone. Over the last three years due to the pandemic and at the time living in a nursing home we lost so much time with her and through hard times, and good times we wish we could stop feeling so helpless towards this disease so on May 26th, for my eighth year my family is raising money on team "Finding Lynn" with many other families that are going through the same thing in support of not only kicking Alzheimer's butt but giving back to the organizations that give not only their patients outstanding support but their families as well.
I watched this disease turn strong into frail, independent into dependent, subtle to blunt, active into stiff, brave into terrified. Leading to everything I have ever loved about her nearly gone. Many families are grieving the loss of a person who is still alive. A disease that is hiding a person in their own skin.
Please help by saying get lost Alzheimer's and other Dementias by supporting me with something that means the world to me.
On April 24, 2023 my Nanny gained her angel wings.
