HAPPY THANKSGIVING,
I know that holidays are tough when you are dealing with a loved one with Alzheimer's. If you have to go to the nursing home to see them, and you are busy or out of town tomorrow try and do it today or on Friday. Remember the fun times you had with them before this terrible disease took over. If you are having your family at the house and your loved one with Alzheimer's lives there, have patience with them. They may feel lost with all the commotion, or just be quiet and watch and then the next day have out bursts. Remember that you have taken them off their schedule, and there is a lot more noise in the house than they are use to. Remember that you are an angel with acts of kindness, and giving back what you were once given. If you ever have questions please don't hesitate to ask.

Remember the 3 important things that you need to do if you are taking care of a loved one with Alzheimer's. Find a Support Group. Get Respite care. Don't forget Hospice.

Have a great holiday and may God Bless You!
Sincerely,

GOOD EVENING EVERY ONE,
I WANT TO THANK EVERYONE WHO HELPED WITH THE ALZHEIMER'S WALK. IT WAS GREAT TO SEE EVERYONE WALKING AND DONATING FOR SUCH A GREAT CAUSE. I WAS DISAPPOINTED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING IN THE PAPER ABOUT IT. BUT AS WE ALL KNOW, UNLESS YOU ARE DEALT WITH THE CARDS TO BE A PART OF THIS TERRIBLE DISEASE, WHETHER IT IS BECAUSE OF A LOVED ONE WHO HAS IT, OR YOU WHO HAVE IT, IT IS HUSH HUSH. I WANT TO THANK PMT AMBULANCE FOR LETTING MY AMBULANCE BE THERE TO HELP SUPPORT THE CAUSE. MY PARTNER NURSED SCRAPPED KNEES OF LITTLE ONES WHO FELL WHILE I WALKED WITH SO MANY OTHERS. IT WAS GREAT TO SEE THE T-SHIRTS OF LOVED ONES WHO HAVE DIED WITH THE DISEASE WALKING AROUND.

THANKSGIVING IS COMING UP. I HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT HOLIDAY. I HAVE SO MANY FOND MEMORIES OF MY FATHER IN LAW CARVING THE TURKEY WHEN WE WERE YOUNG. ALWAYS HANG ON TO THOSE WONDERFUL MEMORIES.

SINCERELY,
MARIE FOSTINO

Good Evening,
Just a reminder that the Alzheimer's Association Memory Walk is this Saturday here in sunny Phoenix, Az. I hope you all will join us to help get a cure for this terrible disease. I also want to thank every one who donated under my name. I received the $750.00 that I was trying to raise. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

Tomorrow morning at 8:10 my husband Jimmy and I will be on Good Morning Az talking about the Memory Walk and my book. Look for us, and thank you for all your support.

If any of you want to still donate and/or walk, it is $30.00 for a shirt. Come on and join us. Until than have a good day, and remember that MOMENTS are important when it comes to your loved one with Alzheimer's.

Sincerely,

It is November again. How time flies. Sometimes holidays can be so sad. You think of the fun you had with your loved one, in the past, and you are hurting because you can't do the same things anymore. Their Alzheimer's is stopping them from having a conversation with you, and it is hard for them to get around. Try to be creative during your holiday season. Make a few hours to spend with your loved one, on their level before your holiday. That way when you spend your holiday away from them you won't feel so guilty. They don't know what day it is anymore. So spend Thanksgiving with them when ever it is possible for you, and sit with them, and talk with them, and have turkey with them. Than on Thanksgiving you won't feel so guilty that you didn't spend any of the holiday with them. Also I am a camera freak, so I suggest that you take a picture of that special time. You will want it later, believe me. If ever you need to talk please write me. I will try to answer or give any advice as needed. Have a great week.

Sincerely,
