I'm very sorry to know your mom has this diagnosis, it's very difficult for family, as well as the patient. With your son's diagnosis, I can only imagine the stress you are under.
A person with Alzheimer's can live for many years (up to 20 years) but according to the Alzheimer's Association, 4-8 years is the average time a person has.
I do hope you get out to see your mom.
Best,
Susan
