Hello again,

I took mom in for her PET scan, as discussed on our latest blog posting.  Our assigned Doctor in the Geriatric Department called us last week and discussed the results.  He was very pleased with the results.  His words, 'I expected to see extensively more damage to the frontal portion of mom's brain based on the results of our initial interviewing of Kathy'.   Clinically, he believes mom has Early Onset Alzheimers Disease.  Based on the PET he is confident that his department at Kaiser (Geriatric) can assist mom through this time in her life.  We will have a follow-up with his department in July.  I have not seen mom since I took her for this Exam last week and I have not heard from her Care Facility (and that is always a good thing).  

Best to everyone....
