Prayers for my Dad

[DianaB]

That's too bad, Linda. I just hate to hear of our parents having problems. I hope that a change in his meds will take care of it. It's surprising the effects some meds can have. I'll be praying.

I'm so sorry. I know it must be really hard to hear that. All you can do is be supportive. Big cyber hugs going your way.

Thanks girls, I talked to my brother again this evening. The hospise nurse told him totake him to the emergency room since his dr is on vacation. I have not heard from him yet. He was mean again today. It's like something all of a sudden snapped. Will let you know when i hear more. Thanks so much for all your thoughts and prayers.

I am so sorry, Linda. He is in my prayers.

My friend's 97 year old Mom just went into a nursing home for dementia. Yesterday was the first time she was violent. That's a symptom of dementia, and they are talking about medication. My friend doesn't want her Mom too sedated though. She is mobile, and, when she remembers, has a group of "the girls" she sits with. She does have a safety bracelet on so that she cannot escape though. It sets off an alarm.

The most difficult part is when the person realizes that their thinking and memory are gone. Hopefully, your Dad does not have those moments. Just love him the way he is, and do not expect him to be lucid for long.

Thank you all.
