Alzheimer's

Our nation's medical community, while striving daily to attain answers and more knowledge, is still at a loss concerning many aspects of Alzheimer's disease.  Unfortunately,  some people will progress more rapidly through the mild, moderate and severe stages of the disease and there is no tool that will enable a caregiver to predict the decline their loved one will experience. 

Reminiscence is defined by Encarta World English Dictionary as, "The recollection of past experiences or events in speech or writing, or the act of recalling the past".  Many times in our lives, we find ourselves remembering a fun time we experienced with another loved one.  Other memories are hard to bear and we would rather forget them.  But memories are there to stay as once our brain processes the moments, they are always locked into our memory.
