Luv my kitties!
His hearing with the review board is Wednesday, November 16th. My birthday. Hopefully my gift will be that he's to be kept there for a while longer yet, that he will hear the words my mom's going to say and maybe realize he does need the help/meds afterall.

Yes, that's the biggest issue with this disease - getting the balance of meds right, and keeping the patient on them. We'll keep you in our thoughts that day!

Luv my kitties!
So, got the results from the last hearing and an unexpected turn of events.
The review went a little differently this time. Mom got to be in on the whole thing, heard my dad's doctors review, heard and took questions from the supervising woman psychiatrist, and heard my dad be questioned. After it was done mom was suitably impressed with the woman psychiatrist - she seemed to have my dad figured out. Mom called dad's regular doc yesterday for the results, of course they determined he needed to stay. However, dad can and did after 48 hours, file a request to have another hearing as he didn't like their determination that he needed to stay. Now the panel can and probably will reject his request for another hearing, nothing has changed in his condition and he's just doing it because he didn't get the answer he wanted. He apparently also was shocked at what my mom had to say about him - really dad, you did all those weird things! So we will see shortly how this will go, whether he gets a new hearing or they tell him no. Mom's not happy about it at all, but is set in her resolve that he stay there, get properly medicated, understand the need for the meds and then perhaps come home. The woman psychiatrist did question dad's doc as to his competency. Right now they're not ready to declare him incompetent, but that may be coming, then the ball game changes.

Oh, Gayle, that's great. Not that your Dad gets another hearing so soon, but that your mother seems happy with the doctor that is treating him, and the docs understand!
Give your mom a hug from me next time you see her, okay?
