About this ebook
When Lorrie Davis McDonald heard the words, She is better by 18 months. Perhaps I misdiagnosed her. She was elated! Those words were about her mother-in-law who had been correctly diagnosed with Alzheimers.
With encouragement from the neurologist, Lorrie came up with a game plan to beat this dreaded disease. Read the incredible and often hilarious account of the journey she and her mother-in-law, Granny, went on. This book is part biography and part how-to guide. You will laugh, you will cry, and you will see that there is hope!
A first of its kind, it is a step-by-step journal of all the things that Lorrie did to outwit Alzheimers. She not only kept Granny at home with her husband of sixty-two years, she allowed her to thrive!
This book should be read by anyone and everyone who knows somebody with Alzheimers Disease. It is the first book I remember completely reading at one time./p>

Lorrie Davis McDonald
The world is facing a real medical epidemic. I do not know of one family who has not been touched in some way by Alzheimer’s. Lorrie Davis McDonald has written Blue, Baseball, Virginia to give people facing this disease hope. This book, which was nine years in the making, is a detailed account of the care that Lorrie gave to her mother-in-law during her battle with AD. This is a book of humor, help, and hope! Lorrie went against conventional thinking to not only keep her mother-in-law living at home—but thriving and truly enjoying life. Lorrie lives in Carthage, Tennessee with her husband of almost twenty-five years, Dr. David McDonald, and their children. They are a home-schooling family involved in church, community, and family.
