Hi Everone,

I am 27 years old. My grandma was just diagnosed with LBD (Lewy bodies dementia). She is 88 years old.This the most difficult thing that me and my family have had to go through. I feel like I have been on an up and down rollicoaster ride. She started falling down alot and she said that she was seeing ants all over her house.She started having hallucinations.That's when we had her put in the hospital.

 She was talking about family members that are no longer with us. She saying that why where standing there right next to her and talking to her.  Now she is in a nursing home because the doctor said that she can no longer that  care of  herself. Now she mubleing in her sleep and her speech is really bad.Half the time I can't understand what she is saying.

I have been doing some resarch on the internet about this discus and there is not much out about it. I have found really good online support group at www.lewybodydementia.org.  I now that me and my family are not the onlyones out there dealing with this discus.

Hi Marzydotes,

I am a teacher's aide and I work with primary handicapped children. You said in your post that your grandson begun soiling or urinating his pants. Have you or his teacher's at school tried taking him to the bathroom alittle more often?

I think that is great that the school is using a reward system. I have student that I work with who used to have soiling and urinating problems in his pants. We finally figured out that we had to take him to the bathroom five times duren the middle of the school day to keep his pants dry.I use alot of positive reinforcements with him. If his pants are dry I would tell him good job on keeping his paint's dry and give him a treat or a hi five. 

Hi Mike,

Has your brother ever been to a drug rehab center? There are alot of good drug treatment centers out there. I kinda now what you are going through. I have friend who is in rehab for drugs and drinking.  Has your brother hit rock bottom yet ? My friend got a DUI and spent some time in Jail and thats when she hit rock bottom and decided to go into a drug rehab center.

I saw both of shows. I think Christy needs some serious help. If Law Enforcement and everyone else has said there is no abuse going on in the house then drop it and move on with your life.I would like to now what her husband thinks about this whole situation. I notest that he just sat there and did not say to much.

 Stacy I think you should go to the courts and get a no contact order put out against your sister and her husband. It will protect you and your family.

She needs to take her son and get a no contact order put up against her ex. She should not let any guy treat her and her son this way. Why didn't she call the police when he chocked her and threaten to throw the child over the fence. That's assault and child abuse. Where is her family in all of this. Why arnt they helping her.

I saw this show today and I see nothing but red flags. This girl needs a wake up call. You should not be hiding a relationship from your family. When they got her back the first time when she ran away, they should have taken the computer away from her or put it in a room in the house were very one in the house could see what she was doing on the internet.  I think when she came home the first time her family should have gotton her some serious help.

Mother should have been checking in on her and seeing who she was  not suppost to be talking to. I don't think her family should have taken her to the airport. Her mother should have been checking her phone records alittle better to see who her daughter was talking to. At the age of 18 I don't think she understands how much danger she is in living over there. Think her mother needs to be alittle more on the ball with what is going on in her daughters life.
