...because hopefully, nothing else will happen to them in their respective homes that will require me stressing out over them. Alex had been admitted to a geriatric psych ward, but after more evaluation they concluded that giving him any cognitive therapy would be useless. His reasoning's too deteriorated by the disease to make any real progress, and his memory's too shot to retain any of it anyway.
As a result, he's being moved to a moderate-security memory care facility tomorrow. Marie will remain in her current nursing home. The family will arrange to get him to visit her periodically, but extensive and frequent visits will likely affect them both unhealthily.
She has not been taking well to anyone's visits- she get really agitated and overextends. When this includes trying to get out of bed and move around on her own, it's a problem... she can't really walk anymore, but she keeps trying. She's gotten out of bed a few times during the night and fallen, and if she keeps it up they will likely start restraining her.
On Saturday we went on a car trip to northern WI to my cousin's stepdaughter's graduation open house. It was warm and sunny when we left here. When we got there, it was 20 degrees colder and windy as all hell. I about froze my butt off, and the cold weather followed us back to the Cities. The party was OK, it's always fun to hang out with the cousins, and I got a lot of knitting done in the car, so it was overall a nice trip.
Today was cold and windy and wet, and overall a good day to stay inside and enjoy a game day at Dan's house. Ethan and I carpooled over with Megan and Jeremy in time for brunch- crepes- and learned a couple of new games including a few I would like to get for ourselves. It made for a fun, relaxing afternoon. it was a pity we had to leave early but Jeremy had a paper to finish. Ethan and I came home and leveled my WoW hunter to lvl 66, ordered pizza, and I'm thinking about a bath and going to bed early.
