I'm Back - And Well Rested! Print
Friday, 23 July 2010
Hello All,

Please let me first apologize for not writing my blog for so long.  I was on vacation last week and worked on Almost Home and volunteered at my favorite nursing home. It was glorious.

Update:  Dad is finally sleeping through the night (I sound like a new mother) after 6 years of living here with me.

It occurred to me the other day when I was talking about the Alzheimer's drugs with another caregiver that Dad has been taking his Razadyne and Namenda in the afternoon.

Since they are both stimulants, you would think that I would have realized that was not helping his sleeping situation.

So I called his neurologist and he said that it was fine if I wanted to try giving him the pills early in the morning.

BINGO!

He has slept all night long for the last 4 nights in a row.  I wonder why I was not told to do this six years ago!

At least I eventually found out.  Now I might actually get to have a good night's sleep for a change!
