[KristaJo]

You don’t specify how your mom is now, except that she is in the ‘final stages.’ My mom knew the family somewhat until very late, and although we’re not 100 percent sure, we think she knew me (based on how she hollered at me, as though I’d messed up somehow, when she saw me, which was usual) almost until the very end after having the disease for more than 10 years. She was still calling me by name and doing that about six months before she passed away. In the last few months she still took the same tone but did not use my name. She also had some mobility until the end; but other patients in her nursing home had gone into a kind of fetal position because of the muscle locks that can occur in this disease. E-mail me to discuss this more fully, if you’d like.
