Guess what you guys...DMIL is finally doing better!!! She's in a convalescent hospital now and we were very concerned about her state of mind as she was so very confused about what was happening around her and would randomly start talking about things that happened years ago like it was yesterday.
Anyway, when DH went to see her yesterday she recognized him and asked about the kids and me and was just making more sense overall. So we're still hopeful that she might snap out of it now that she has a normal routine.
She will never be able to live on her own again...but at least we feel like she still has some quality of life left. We're very pleased.
