    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.

    As wonderful as life can be - it can also be very cruel. I will light a candle for you and your Mom and Dad and pray for you too.

    No news yet.

    But my dad did phone my mom yesterday around 4 pm. He really wanted to know if she had been there trying to get in to see him. Apparently the nurses had told him no, but the voices in his head told him she had been there. She hadn't, she was at home all day yesterday. He clearly has issues and is in the best place he can be for them.

    I had to explain to my mom how to pump gas last night though. She's 70 and never had to do it herself, dad always did it. Hopefully she was successful.

    Not liking this....

    My mom had a conversation with the doctor evaluating my dad. He feels sorry for him, says he's suffering, has "mood" swings. Really dude, where'd you get your degree, a cereal box. The man says "they" shine lasers in his eyes, he has 3 voices in his head and he has mood swings!!! He was crawling on his belly with a GUN!!! It would seem they're going to decide to ship him home next week, they have Thursday "hearings" to determine who stays and who goes. Who's going to be responsible if this idiot lets my dad out and he hurts or kills someone! OMG I am so angry, disappointed, upset!!! He has rights and can't be forced to take medication. I had hopes they could actually help him.
