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.

It must have been really tough for your mom to make that call to the police. It feels so final when you have to do something like that about a member of your own family. I'm glad they treated her well and I'm sure they're helping her to know she did make the right decision about it.

That's what I was thinking too. It could be many things- a drop in blood pressure, dehydration or infection, or ...
More prayers being said!

Your Dad is in a safe place, and will soon have a diagnosis.
Your Mom had a good night's sleep and is getting through this. I'm glad to read everyone paid attention to HER as well.
You also need to get some rest.
Continued prayers from RI.
