Family nurtures a loved one with Alzheimer's July 14, 2008 Galveston County Daily News, July 13, 2008 Marsha Canright, director of media communications at UTMB, writes about how her family here in Galveston took care of her father-in-law, Norm, in her house instead of sending him to an assisted-living center. "When it was over, I felt proud of my husband for the tender, patient care he gave his father and proud of my daughter for her gentle companionship with her granddad. I learned so much in those two years, but the most important lesson was that as a family, and with the help of others, we were able to provide comfort and a measure of dignity to a man we dearly loved." « Back | The Newsroom »
