More Than Physical
Today is the Solemnity of the Feast of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary. That is a lot of words that basically means it is the day that the Catholic Church celebrates the fact that Mary, the Mother of Jesus, was born and lived completely void of any sin. It makes sense that […]
Back on the Wii
My mom and dad are trying to do more exercising. It is particularly important for my mother. Movement is the best way to keep the Parkinson’s Disease at bay. With the weather so cold now, unfortunately we are unable to go outside for a walk every day. They have a Wii that they used all […]

Helping Me Help Mom
After my mom recovered from her most recent hospital stay a couple of months ago, we decided to go to the Parkinson’s Disease support group in our area. Since we are “newcomers”, we were invited to attend a special presentation called “Parkinson’s 101”. We have gained so much information already from the group and were happy […]
