"Ma wake up so you can take this medicine." Lyrica yawned at the 8 in the morning while gently shaking Lakeisha. "Ms. Lakeisha." She repeated, slightly worried since she wasn't moving and it seemed like she was barely breathing.

Panic began to takeover Lyrica's body and she immediately took her index and middle finger and put them to her neck making her instantly open her eyes and swat at Lyrica's hand.

"Li' girl don't ever!" She mugged her while Lyrica let out a deep breath. "Did you run a mile or some girl? Why you breathing so hard?"

"Lady I been trying to wake you up and you was not moving. I got scared and tried to check your pulse." She explained while trying to stifle her laugh because of Lakeisha's turned up face. 

"I ain't gone die yet Lryi pooh. Trust me, you'll know. But your hands are freezing! Matter fact, this house is freezing!" She complained while sitting up in her bed.

Lyrica has been doing an exceptionally well job taking care of Lakeisha. Of course it helped that she personally knew her but when it came to her medical, Lyrica was on top of it. She's yet to miss a breakfast, lunch or dinner and at each meal she had to take some pills, which she hasn't missed either. Some days are of course better while some are terrible.

She's learned that Alzheimer's is very tricky and it can become very difficult to deal with. Sometimes Lyrica had to just go with the flow and pretend to be who Lakeisha thought she was. She'd also have to trick her into taking her medication. It was hard to keep her in a certain routine but she got the hang of it.

"I'll turn down the AC." She told her while wrapping Lakeisha in her robe.

"Thank you baby. Speaking of baby, where's the baby?" She asked looking around. "Babyy!" She slightly shouted in a soft voice making Lyrica sigh slightly.

For some reason she'd alway look for a baby, which Lyrica soon found out was Cameron which is why she bought her a realistic reborn doll that somewhat resembled Cameron as a newborn. 

"Here he is ma." She told her while handing her the doll.

"Awee, hi baby." She smiled while bouncing the baby up and down.

Lyrica opened her water bottle and grabbed her pills to get ready and give to her. "You ready to take this Ms. Lakeisha?" She asked grabbing her attention.

"Where's my husband? He stay leaving me with his big headed son." She stressed, taking out her boob to get ready and feed the doll.

"Aht! I already fed him ma, he's not hungry." She quickly said while Lakeisha mugged her.

"Do I look like a dog to you?" She asked with her head tilted.

"Ma'am?" She asked, truly confused on why she felt the need to ask that.
