3:29 a.m.
Mom: Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
I wake up.
Mom: Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
I get up, rush through the house, and into mother's bedroom.
Me: What's the matter?
Mom: He was on top of me!
I look over and the cat is sitting on the night stand. My best estimation of what happened is that mom combined a dream with Cat #2 getting on her chest for some sleepy time. This isn't usually a problem since they spend hours doing that every morning with mom kissing, rubbing, and scratching the kitty.
Me: Don't worry. It was just a dream.
Mom: Don't act so innocent.
I returned to the couch and tried to get back to sleep.

After living in Southern California for 20 years, I returned home to upstate New York to watch over my mother who was suffering from Alzheimer's Disease. My brother and I did everything we could to keep her in familiar surroundings at home and avoid assisted living. We were successful until June 2009, two weeks short of her 80th birthday. These Alzheimer's Moments document her life and the challenges of being a primary caregiver.
