Pam you have been in my thoughts and prayers because you are going through a very hard time indeed. This has been a long slog for you and so stressful. You cannot deal with this level of dementia on your own. Please let the professionals take over and try to get some normality back in your life. It won't be resolved overnight but it will happen.

Hello everyone, Eldest son went to see his father this afternoon, he thought he was in the home with him, said we have to make an escape plan to get out, son said do you know where you are, he said no l haven't got a clue, but we must get out of here, or we will die here, Son spoke to CH manager, they can not keep him there, needs to be in a secure unit.
This is a nightmare for me, l have lost my voice , cannot speak!!!

Where my hubby will go l do not know, l think they will section him, and then decide what to do with him.
I have much support from friends and family, so must be very grateful.

Pamann I so so hope they will be able to find a way to help him and for you both to find some peace. What a grand son you have. Good that you have so much support.
What to write without sounding trite?
My dad's meds have been altered and he appears to be settling - so it seems there are things that can be done.
All good wishes

It really is a nightmare for you pamann .

No one can control the varying symptoms of this illness and most of them are absolutely heartbreaking.

Thank goodness you are being well supported.

Poor man, it's so heartbreaking to get a glimpse into how the world appears to him at the moment. Incredibly stressful for you Pam, no wonder you've lost your voice. So hope there is some peace for both of you soon.

Oh Pam! Just catching up. Phew! That took some reading:( In a way I think it would help if your OH was sectioned. He would be assessed and perhaps some meds given to help him. In your area is there a Crisis team who could visit your OH in the CH and observe what is going on?

I feel so sorry for both of you and I hope you feel better soon.

Love

Hello LYNT Friday Dr from the Mental Health clinic went to see OH, he should have been sectioned SS said it would have been better for them, OH is staying in care home for another 2wks, it he escapes again he will be sectioned, he has a one to one carer watching him at all times, he is unaware of this. see what happens this week.
