HHello, just wanted to let everyone know. Regardless of vaccinations or break outs. We can see our LO. I have to be honest, since the Pandemic started I have seen such a rapid decline in my mother. Before the Pandemic she talked more and recognized me. Now she doesn't recognize me anymore, however she did recognize me the last time I saw her. I guess I have to just get used to her once in awhile recognizing me. Has anyone experienced more of a loss of could have been if there was no pandemic and you were able to see your loved once whenever you wanted pre-pandemic. Please let me know. Happy Thanksgiving everyone! God bless!

    That is wonderful news!

    DW has slipped some in the past two years, right here at home.  I have no idea if she would have done worse in isolation from me, but we certainly would not have liked it.  I am certain that my mother's last year (2017- 2018) was better with frequent visits at her NH.
