"Judy is a wonderful physical therapist, who has energy, enthusiasm and the best 'can do' attitude. She has accurately given a description of the major task of 'in-home care' that most people cannot understand. I applaud her efforts; both the monumental task of care for Dean (who was a super guy) and writing this helpful book. Job well done!" -Joyce Dunlevy Cready, RN, BSN, Rehabilitation "I want to commend Mrs. Jennings on the work done to put together this book. It will be a valuable resource for patients and caregivers, and provides an honest and thoughtful look at her experiences with LBD. It was an honor to care for Dean and I know that her work with him and in this book will help others who are going through the same difficult life journey." -Andrew P. Duker, MD, Neurology "This book is medically appropriate and concise. The information has breadth that is not available in other books. I will recommend it to all my patients with Lewy Body Dementia." -James P. Simcoe, MD, Family Practice "What an outstanding caregiver and loving wife to share this most personal knowledge, gained from her heartfelt experience with Lewy Body Dementia." - Peter A. Towne, PT, FAPTA Linda L. Towne, PT, MEd, Orthopedic and Neurological Physical Therapy

The lovely song, "Autumn Leaves", by Johnny Mercer ends "But I miss you most of all, my darling, when autumn leaves start to fall." Those words always invoked a feeling of melan-choly: the end of summer, the forecast of a cold, long winter. But when my husband developed Lewy Body dementia, they meant even more. The falling leaves symbolized the slow shedding of his memories, his reason, his health - and finally his life.

My husband was diagnosed with early-onset Parkinson’s disease when he was fifty years old. Two years later, his diagnosis was changed to Lewy body dementia with Parkinsonism. I decided to keep track of our journey and the twists and turns people deal with when diagnosed with a debilitating disease. I tried to cover all the basics on a timeline—from being diagnosed, different medications we tried, a constant decline in the activities of daily living, being hospitalized, entering a nursing home or coming home, and having in-home health care. When you have a loved one with a devastating illness, whether it is a spouse or a parent, you want the very best care for them if you can’t care for them yourself. This book covers our experiences with issues involving health insurance, nursing homes, trying to work full-time, and the reliability of several in-home health care agencies and the unfortunate nightmares you deal with on a regular basis. It also touches on how to deal with the stress you experience when your life doesn’t turn out as you thought. I ended up losing my job because of all the times I missed trying to work trying to care for my aging parents (my mom Alzheimer’s), my spouse, and family and all the duties that go along with owning a home. The brain is such a complex organ, and when it starts to die, it affects every person differently. I hope this book will help others dealing with loved ones suffering from dementia by giving them awareness, insight, and an idea of what to expect as the disease progresses.

A woman recounts dementia’s toll on her family and shares lessons she learned that can provide help and hope to caregivers tending to their own loved ones. Within Dancing with Lewy, readers meet Lee and Nancy. Lee was born into a large farming family just before the Great Depression. He was a World War II Veteran, self-made businessman, artist, poet, and a man who would give a stranger his last nickel. Lee’s third daughter, Nancy, is practical, organized, pragmatic, a writer, and equals her father in a passion for life. Nancy was determined to take the helm when Lee’s mind began “dancing” with Lewy body dementia even though he resolved to remain independent while his mind slipped away. Within Dancing with Lewy, readers also meet God as the one who carried the family through this storm and offered grace to the weariness of the family. This memoir is written through Nancy’s eyes while original poetry by Lee is woven throughout to provide readers a glimpse into his outlook to life. In Part I of Dancing with Lewy,Nancy revisits Lee’s young life, her own years growing up with her dad, and the toll dementia took on their family. She shares the pain of grief when her mom died of cancer and her dad became even more confused. In Part II, she shares the lessons she learned along the way and offers hope for caregivers tending to their loved one(s) who have a debilitating illness. Nancy offers practical advice for caregivers such as how to: Get legal documents in order Find community resources Choose a nursing home and partner with the staff Treat their loved one with respect and dignity
