    My husband went off Aricept after 7 years. He was getting agitated and did better off of it. What helped was Seroquel. I am not a doctor. I don’t know what would work for Jason but his doctor will give good advice.
    We are at year 11 after diagnosis and not much helps at this stage but he is very sweet and that helps. Hope it goes well.

    Cookbooks are always fun, especially if u have amazing recipes of ur own,or handed down generations. Ive personally always thought Leslie should/could write a children's book,maybe about losing someone, explaining death to anyone is hard, but Leslie unfortunately has tons of experience with sickness and death,but she's sooooo sweet,i think shed have a perfect way of telling little ones how and why ppl die,grief,heaven,or whatever she chooses! Leslie turns evthing to gold. Good luck with the cookbook!!🎉🎉

    I rarely comment, but on another video you asked what content we would like to see. My vote is for this right here. Probably budget friendly for you, and wonderful content for your viewers. Seeing snippets of real life gentleness and kindness, in your very stressful life being played out …. is gold! It is also so very much needed in this day and age. I know you can edit out -not so lovely- moments. We all have them, even without your and Jason’s particular trial! (s)
    Anyway, if you are reading this, I will say this: You will not lose subscribers or viewers no matter what your content is about. Your calmness, humor, and giftedness and ability is… …Charming….to us all!🌿🌹🌿

It’s what you do out of love but it’s so very exhausting physically and mentally draining and upsetting as well. I’m sending Jason love to deal with his many changes and love to you Leslie to provide you with the strength you need to cope with life. It’s lovely you have kind and friendly neighbours that continue to treat Jason the same as they always did enabling you to pop out and do what you need to do safe in the knowledge that Jason’s having a good visit and staying safe too.

    You’re doing it Leslie! ❤ Look how much Jason enjoys his day. My mum is almost 84 and with Alzheimer’s she thinks she’s 12. She’s so physically active until she crashes. She moves snow and trucks her bird feeders to the back of the property. In the summer she’s out gardening. She enjoys her days. She really only lasts for 15 -20 minutes and then she’s tired but I can’t deny her that joy. I just watch from close enough to see but not be seen. I could feel that joy on Jason’s face as he’s chopping down trees. I love a good chain saw too. I’m recovering from pericarditis but have a couple of autoimmune diseases. It’s good you rest when you’re tired. I just realized how much rest my body needs to recover. Take care of yourself. ❤

    Lesley I am also very accommodating! My hubby flies remote control airplanes which are always in some form of being built all over my dining room table. I also have a 6’ tall airplane leaning against my living room wall!

    I was so hoping you could've had just a little nap when Jason was resting ...I totally understand why you didn't because of work but you were so tired from treatment. Take care both of you . Fun and uplifting video ...thankyou !

    It's none of my business but darn that concerns me when they want to stop his medications to for several reasons for his mental health but also you know that can't that be dangerous suddenly stopping medication? I know you know what you're doing I trust in you you're the best caregiver

    I know it doesn’t help, but I feel so bad for you sometimes. I can only imagine how tired you must be and you just keep going! Jason is such a cutie on video, but I know that’s the ham in him coming out!😄 I hope he makes you laugh often because laughter truly is the best medicine. You are simply amazing. Please take time for yourself every chance you get. Give you concerns to God, He can get you through anything that comes along. My husband was killed in an auto accident February 28th last year on his way home from visiting me in the hospital. God has gotten me through this past year in amazing ways. I couldn’t have made it without His help. He has carried me a long time! 😊

    It’s so helpful watching you with Jason.
    The always present changes,,,,, of meds, eating by myself, dr appointments, etc.
    My husband is legally blind, his parents are 87 and 90, still live at home, my parents 80 and 85, and they still live at home, and I’m the only one that can drive to all dr appointments.
    I heard you ask “what kind of care giver am I” just now, about Jason’s leg!!!!!
    THAT IS exactly how I feel soooo much. It’s hard making the mental changes that happen so often.
    Hang in there lady.
    You’re going great!!!!!

    Y’all are wonderful together just like me and my sweetheart. We were married for 30 yrs and lost him with this horrible disease that started in 2020 and 2023 lost my best friend, spiritual friend, love of my life😢 the doctors tried every medication out there to slow the dementia down but honestly it made him worse . My opinion and only my opinion is let these precious people ride it out and pray everyday that the day goes well. Leslie you are a beautiful person inside and out and your sweetheart is a gem. Keep the laughs going it helps. But also get help lined up soon so you can have regroup time for yourself. I wished I had more videos of my sweetheart before he got worse. You will look back one day and enjoy looking at yall laughing together 😂. God bless you sweet girl 🙏

Among all the other things you are faced with, a cookbook is in the wings. The other thing is the reminder of Sandra Lee. I loved her cooking and decorating ideas. She was the first person l remember seeing that decorated "over the top" not just her kitchen when she cooked but so much more. Love your dedication to Jason and your channel, Leslie.

    Your generosity in sharing the ups and down helps me more than I even expected as my husband passed away a few years ago with an early onset dementia.

Being a male I’m not much into crafts and home making, but I greatly appreciate seeing Jason and what you deal with because I watched my Mom deal with Parkinson’s for 9 years. She passed away in 2004 from it at 69 years old. I empathize with you and know the challenges. Thanks again for all you do for him and allowing us into your life

    Thank you ! It was good to see Jason and you again. Dean, my spouse w/LBD has just stopped his Aricept also. I’m thinking of quitting his crestor also. He has developed some muscle rigidity and now needs help showering, getting up/down, and in/out of bed. Visiting Angels are saving my back, shoulders, and sanity 3x/week! We have discovered palliative care which is furnished by our local nurse practitioners and covered by Medicare. It is different from hospice. They step in at any point you need assistance and are the liaison between myself and his medical care team. No more patient portals or phone calls for me. They do it all. I still have his daily care but they monitor everything and adjust his in home PT/OT as needed. So thankful for so many wonderful people in this world!
