Saturday Update

Saturday was a somewhat uneventful day. Sam was relatively content all day, and sometimes that means she is in a more unaware state. Sam's short-term memory was not functioning very well as she repeated herself a bit, but otherwise, Sam and I enjoyed ourselves with a number of simple activities, including watching T.V., reading just a little, and taking a stroll outside in the back "garden" area, which is part of Park Terrace. Sam has been on some new medication since the end of April for memory stimulation, and I'm not sure it is working, in fact I wonder sometimes if it is having the reverse effect, but I will check with her doctors and therapists on Tuesday about it. I've seen Sam both remembering a lot more at times, over the past few weeks but also-mainly- having more difficulty in retrieving words and memories. She also seems too to be in her own world a bit more, but it is hard for me to truly gauge. Today, I'm going to bring Sam a lot of her own photographs to look at and hope that she will be interested in them and in a more aware state.
