family visit

DW may be in late stage 5, which progressed rapidly over the last 6 months or so. Especially after several falls causing a brain bleed and a month in the hospital. - july /aug. Most days sun-downing is very difficult with her wanting to go out to the home she grew up in (not a possibility), and causing much anxiety on both of us.

Son lives 4 hours away. Calls every day. Visited while she was in the hospital. Helpful.

He and his family were last here in the spring when communication skills were better and delusions not so strong. He is aware that her condition is worsened. Yet, I am worried about the visit. I have read some of the old postings about family visits. I believe that she will be so happy to see them, especially our grandson, that maybe there won't be those wanting to wander problems. Yet, who knows with this disease.

I plan to call him tomorrow, don't know what to say without sounding reluctant for the visit. I'm not…I really want to see them all. But scared that it could be more than we can deal with. I am open to any ideas any of you might have in navigating the visit without scaring our preschool grandson, or DIL. Son may be surprised at her present condition also.
