I am sure a lot of you have seen my previous posts about grandpa in the MC facility. (He has been quite the troublemaker) Last time I went to visit the admin told me that they have started noticing a decline. They said he rarely talks about trying to escape anymore and seems to be progressing in his diagnosis (moderate dementia) When I saw him that day he was more worried about getting to lunch than berating me which is his normal pattern. He did tell me that he spoke to his son and was told that he never did the things I said he did (he sued him which caused a huge family rift and they havent spoken in over 10 years) he said that means I am a liar. I said I am glad you spoke (I know they didnt) and just let it ride instead of trying to get my point across as I normally would. Yesterday the admin did a telephone call with him and his Medicare Guide person. She reached out to tell me that although he was pleasant this time (hes usually not) his disease has gotten worse as he only answered a few questions correctly which means his moderate dementia could possibly be considered severe now. I am not sure if I just needed to put that in writing somewhere I feel comfortable or if anyone can tell me how things typically progress once we get to "severe" vs "moderate"
