Stage Six

Here is a link to a page which lists the stages an Alzheimers patient travels through. This particular list has seven stages of the illness. Mother's current status matches up well with their description of the sixth stage. One difference: They list suspiciousness, delusions, hallucinations, and compulsive behaviors as part of the sixth stage. Mother has none of these ( unless her report to Marcie that Glen was sitting beside them on the couch counts as a hallucination, and not ESP).
