Oct 18,2007. The day that changed the course of our lives forever.
My name is Kathy and this is my attempt to blog about my husband's diagnosis of Lewy Body Dementia and how it relates to our lives.
If you are here then more than likely you have heard about Lewy.
If you are new to the Lewy life I'm sorry you needed to find the information. I'll let the LBDA link supply you with all the "technical" stuff about it. It's a very comprehensive and informative site. They are doing a great work in getting the word out and educating people about Lewy Body.
My purpose here is to journal the life of one couple, me and Bobby, loving referred to as Hubby with our struggles and joys (yes we have some joys) with Lewy.
Hang on, it's going to be a bumpy ride :)

This is dementia, it's not just a memory problem. My husband was diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia in Oct 2007. This is our story. The ups and downs, the sorrows and joys. A non clinical view of living the Lewy life. Our story ended Feb 11, 2014. Lewy Body dementia hasn't been cured yet so until it is, this blog will be timeless in it's approach to caregiving, love and faith. It's a daily approach to those things.

I'm just a woman that loves her husband deeply and wants to provide him with the best quality of life he can and chooses to have.
My prayer though this is "Lord, What am I learning from this; how can I use it help someone else and to glorify You?"
If just one person finds comfort in this public blog. I will feel like it was a success.
