Our mother Consuelo Velasco Rodriguez
This page was made for my siblings, and close others to know the current and past of mom.
Welcome Rodriguez Family!
The reason for this site.
I came up with this idea because I know the nature of our family, myself included… She is doing good considering her age and the life of stress she has had. We are blessed. She loves her family and mentions all of you guys daily.. Trust me she does (rolls eyes lol). Lets all make her last years worthy and impact-full. I hope this site gives you insight on our mothers condition. I will post updates if any. Also this website is not linked publicly-meaning its only for those that know the URL. I did not add it to the google search engine etc.
I have been helping mom out to the best of my abilities for many years now. I can assure you all one thing that there is not one thing that can happen that I will not be able to handle. Yes I will have stress on it but it will get handled. Mom is getting older and is at a point where she is having some flash backs of her past that she has bottled up inside her mind and forgotten about. This in turn causes her to have mood swings and what not. She does not have dementia she may sometimes show symptoms of it but true dementia she does not have as of yet. Does she get confused? Yes she does but not always. Its common in the elderly to get confused and not have dementia,. Life happens and that is what is happening with her. She can go sometimes an entire week with not one sign of confusion and then get a small episode. Her confusion is emotionally triggered from either stress or lack of sleep and hydration, and was recently confirmed by her cardiologist that AFIB in the elderly causes confusion sometimes. I live with her 24/7 and am speaking of this because of my attentive observation.
Moms medical conditions:
AFIB(irregular heart beat)-High blood pressure(under control)
Moms medications:
Xarelto 20 mg 1 tablet daily ((BLOOD THINNER)) Clot control-Atorvastatin 40mg 1 tablet daily ((For cholesterol))-Losartan 100mg 1 tablet daily ((blood pressure pills))-Toprol XL 25 mg 1 Tablet daily (Beta-blocker) Pulse control (AFIB)-Mom does not take any medication for pain in her knee. On a rare occasion she will take Tylenol.
Moms Mental/Emotional state:
As you all can tell by being around our mother that her mental state has been getting worse, she has a few forms of dementia. She has failed the cognitive testing 5 years in a row, and her latest CT scan does show the decreases size of the brain and a consistent pace with the elderly with dementia. Her emotions are scattered and unpredictable. You guys do not get to see what I see here at home when she gets her severe symptoms. I plead with you guys to see her more then a few times a year, but its whatever its all on your conscious.
