    Sounds good, glad they are keeping him, and adjusting medications.

    Mom talked to Dad yesterday. Apparently he's not very happy with her and doesn't really care for "her" version of the truth. Claims his meds aren't helping with the voices or the lasers, but they do help him sleep. He says his latest certificate will keep him in the "hospital" until June. Mom is going to call the social worker to confirm that he's "in" for the next 6 months and to raise questions about the medication dad's getting.

    It's clear to me that he is where he needs to be right now.

    I'll be heading out to spend a few days with mom tomorrow morning. Taking her lots of good things for Christmas, along with me, Cali and Diego!

    Thank you all for continuing to think of us.

    Gayle, may you and your mom, and your dad too, have a peaceful and comforting Christmas.

    It sounds great if they are planning on keeping him for next 6 months, less for your mom to worry about. And maybe in that time, they can adjust his medication and get him to saner thoughts. It's always tricky with mental health issues.

    Had a good Christmas with Mom. Took her lots of presents and she loved them all - she deserved to be "spoiled" after all she's been thru and done for me thru my divorce.

    Dad is indeed in for 6 months. They can release him sooner if he "gets better" but chances of that seem unlikely. Mom will talk to him later this week and see how he is doing now. She's also going to check in with the doctor to find out what they are going to be doing, etc.

    Thanks all for continuing to care about us. It is much appreciated.
