Sunday, September 6, 2009

Today was a rather busy day. We went to church in the morning, out to lunch then home where CP took a nap. At 1:00 we headed back to the church to set-up for my parents 59th Wedding Anniversary Party. CP seemed to enjoy himself. My niece Jenni was there, she was the one that cared for him May - Aug., she went up and said hello to him and he told her hello. He then asked her if she'd ever met his son Reid. He didn't remember Jenni's name or that she used to care for him 8 hours a day. That was rather sad. Reid said that CP sat and visited with Mom and Dad and then he told Reid, "Those are nice people, who are they?" Reid told them that they are my parents. That was also a big surprise.

CP did well considering there were about 115 people that came to the party. We cleaned the church from the party then my parents, 3 siblings and several nieces and nephews all went out to eat dinner. (There were 20 of us) While we were at dinner we noted that again CP did not hum during the meal. We both are wondering if the background noise is enough of a distratction. We have read that people with Alzheimer's often hum because they hear voices or conversations from the past inside their head.
