Seriously.
My mom had to call the local police for assistance this morning. They came, talked to my dad for a half hour and then took him away to the local hospital for evaluation. He's gone completely looney tunes. While I was talking to my mom the police showed up at her door, I am assuming they collected her to go to the hospital to find out what next. I wait for her call. I offered to drive up but she declined my company for now.
I saw your post on FB. It sounds like it was sudden and very very scary. I hope it is treatable, whatever "it" is.
HUGS and prayers!:love::love:
I'm so sorry to hear of this. Please know that my prayers are with you, your Mom, and your Dad.
Wow! That could be so many things - sudden onset dementia, a reaction to meds, a need for meds . . . .
Prayers for all of you!
My dad has been taken to Centennial Centre in Ponoka. They specialize in seniors with mental issues. Apparently he hears at least 3 people in his head. They "sing" in his head. He was searching the house for intruders this morning, gun in hand. The police have seized his 2 BB guns, thank goodness. He will be in the "hospital" for at least 2 weeks. They will begin his evaluation tomorrow. He was not on any meds so this isn't caused by that.
Thanks all for the support.:love:
How frightening both for him and for your mom! He'll be in our prayers still!
Oh my God...
Prayers and hugs and good wishes to you and your Mom and Dad, Gayle.
Love from Pat (and cats)
That must have been so scary for your Mom. Prayers that they can resolve your Dad's issues quickly. How old is your Dad, Gayle?
He will be 72 on September 1st.Quote:

Sending my thoughts and prayers out to you and your family. Hang in there!
Prayers for you and your Mom and Dad. Your poor Mom. I really feel for her. I hope they can help your father with medication. Aging can be so sad. It affects everyone differently.Quote:

Oh how scary!
I'm glad your mom has been treated well. I hope everything goes well for your dad while he is in the hospital.
That is scary. You and your family have my prayers.
Your family is in my thoughts. It must be so scary to see the person you've loved for so long suddenly not be the same anymore.
