Luv my kitties!
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!

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.

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?

This episode started Thursday and escallated to this morning's incident. Mom said it took most of the day to stop shaking, but she was treated very, very well by the police officer, after he took dad to the hospital he came back and got mom and took her there. She was also treated very well at the hospital by the nurses/doctor. She's 70 and managing ok for now.

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.

Scary, thank God he didn't have a high powered gun. I hope he will be well soon. My first thought was a tumor of the brain. I am sending you my prayers. Know that there are many who care about you and who will support you in this most difficult time.

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.
Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.
Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!
