Brown understands what it is like to see changes
in a loved one's health. Her husband, Bert,
demonstrated loss of memory that would eventually
be diagnosed as Alzheimer's disease. After a
courtship that began when she was just 17 and
over 60 years of marriage, Brown decided to
commit herself to caring for her husband and
allowing him to have the best life possible with
his declining memory. The new edition of her
book, Help Me! I'm Slipping, tells the story of
how she discovered that he had memory loss and
how she cared for him during his illness. Help
Me! I'm Slipping tells a story that is not only
poignant, but helpful to those who are worried
about their own loved ones. Brown identified some
of the common markers in her husband and uses her
experience to help others. Common symptoms of
Alzheimer's include
An inability to incorporate new information.
People who are in the early stages of Alzheimer's
may not be able to remember information they just
learned. Numbers become confusing. For
Alzheimer's patients, even something as simple as
balancing a checkbook can be challenging.
