My dad's lost his mind.....here we go again

[Daisy and Delilah]

My thoughts and prayers are going out

Well, they're going to give dad another hearing, on December 1. My mom was really upset about this yesterday, she was counting on them telling him no. I told her to get over it, that this is dad's new fixation (getting out of the hospital, rather than looking for bombs, bugs or lasers). That he will continue to try to get out and she can either give up and let him come home or stand up, take control and say hell no, get him medicated and on the road to whatever recovery he can achieve. She had a melt down yesterday, hopefully she's better today.

I think she's allowed to have an occasional meltdown, with everything she has been through. Give her a hug from us, okay?

The good thing about giving someone a hug is 99% of the time, you get a hug in return!

Thinking of you, Gayle.

Thinking about you and your family.

I just now found the most recent update about the December 1 hearing. That was almost two weeks ago so I am hoping the decision was that your dad should stay under care yet. I'll keep praying.

It took a while for the committee to get back to my mom. But dad will be staying with them a while longer. And, he may not be allowed any further hearings for a while. His doctor was to come up with a new treatment plan as dad wasn't really any different from the day he went in save for sleeping more with the medication. He is now apparently to be medicated twice daily. Mom spoke with him directly a few days ago and he made some snide comments to her. She'll be calling him again, just before Christmas. Hopefully that goes better.

Provided we don't get a huge snow storm on the 24th I will be heading out to spend Christmas with Mom in Sundre. It's an hour north and 30 min west from Calgary. So long as the highways are in good condition Cali, Diego and I will go visit her for a few days.
