Have you heard of Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus or N.P.H.? In this episode we hear what it is and how it was the diagnosis long-sought after to provide the answers for Tracy Crump's mother's symptoms.

Tracy is a former Intensive Care Nurse, caregiver for her mother, father and then her mother-in-law, and now she is a published author who knew something wasn't making sense when her mother was mis-diagnosed with dementia. Through perseverance and advocacy, Tracy researched, did her homework and prayed as she followed-through with appointments and testing for her mom's diagnosis of N.P.H. and with the right treatment her mom made an amazing turnaround.

Tracy did not lose sight of doing what she loves while caregiving and has written an award-winning book, 
Health, Healing, and Wholeness: Devotions of Hope in the Midst of Illness.
 She understands the burdens and joys of caregiving and has contributed 22 stories to Chicken Soup for the Soul (R) books. She also conducts writing workshops, freelance edits, and proofreads for 
Farmers' Almanac. 
Her most important job, however, is Grandma to five completely unspoiled grandchildren.
