Kate got up from her nap right after I uploaded the previous post. She was ready to get out of the house, so we drove over to Panera. On the way, she asked me to tell her my name. Then she asked me her name. After I said Kate, she filled in the rest. Then she asked my name again. She tried to repeat it and couldn’t. When we got to Panera, she asked the name of the restaurant. Several times over thirty minutes she asked again. She also asked my name again as well as her own. Then she asked my parents names. I thought it was strange that she wasn’t working on her puzzles. I always set up the iPad with a puzzle that is ready for her. Apparently, she left the iPad inactive for so long that it went to sleep. After a while, I asked her why she wasn’t working puzzles. She didn’t realize she could. The iPad was sitting right in front of her. She hadn’t noticed or noticed and didn’t remember how to start it. I turned it on for her, and she is working the first puzzle, and we have been here almost 45 minutes.
Although she has asked almost all of these same questions other times, she seems especially confused today. Each time she asks for the same information, I get the impression that her lack of memory is troubling her. I hope we aren’t preparing for another anxiety attack tonight. As I said in my previous post, I hope the evening at Casa Bella saves the day.
