UPDATE \u2013 5:00pm<\/p>\n
Caregiver is scheduled to start on Thursday. Hopefully that will make a big difference. Mom got back to the facility and told them there that the Doctor was lying about her outburst (and some other stuff). She seemed pretty calm when she got back so really not sure what to say about that\u2026 Cyndie is going to call her later and I\u2019m going to check on her tomorrow afternoon (probably not making it by though). The good news is that she\u2019s going to resume the meds that she was on (original dose). I still don\u2019t think that the doctor has any idea that she had any part of this\u2026<\/p>\n
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n
Mom has been quite the handful lately. She\u2019s been pretty bad for the last few weeks she\u2019s just really reached a new level. She hasn\u2019t been allowed to stay alone during the day \u2013 she acts out and that\u2019s when she tends to try and get up. They are keeping her busy by taking her to every activity but when there isn\u2019t one she\u2019s has to either sit in the lobby with the receptionist or in the office with the Wellness Director. Of course she says that they are keeping her hostage and everyone is out to get her.<\/p>\n
Today was her appointment with the psychiatrist. I was hoping that we could get to the bottom of this med change. Early into the visit mom started screaming and yelling. Not sure what was going on with her (I couldn\u2019t go \u2013 I got a call telling me what\u2019s happening). The psych (who I blame for her big mental shift last month) says that she needs to be seen by her primary doctor ASAP. She is with an aide \u2013 the psych should know that if it\u2019s that serious she needs to just be taken to the hospital \u2013 they can call 911. I guess Mom was yelling at them that she wants me to come and get her out of there. Not sure what I can do for her.<\/p>\n
It seems to me like that doctor just can\u2019t handle her. I told the Wellness Director to have her brought back to the facility and have her assessed there. The NP and her primary doctor actually come to the facility so hopefully they can be by later to check her out. If it\u2019s an emergency, to the ER again she will go.<\/p>\n
I saw her yesterday and explained to her that we are bringing in a private CNA to sit with her during the day, every day. This way she has constant care and she doesn\u2019t have to wait for anything. I don\u2019t know if this is going to make a difference, but it\u2019s one more thing to try before she goes to a long-term facility.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ll keep you posted with any new updates. But in the meantime, prayers would be much appreciated.<\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
