Well hi all
we went and saw dad today on the assessement ward.....it has only been 3 days since we last saw him, he was convinced it been 2 years.
He was clean and tidy but very very confused.
He spent a lot of time talking about wanting to die.
Was experiencing lots of paranoia, convinced mum is having an affair
He says he wants to go home, we have tried to explain that home isnt very safe for him at the moment because of the confusion etc but he says he isnt confused then rambles on about other stuff.
we took Nerys our 4 yr old and Holly our 5 month old with us....Holly he didnt know at all
Nerys he thought was me.....once he realised he kept saying to her " you want grandad to come home dont you?" she told him "no grandad you poorly you need to rest"
she became very upset and said she missed grandad as he has changed, he is different.
We have an appointment with the consultant and care manager on thursday to discuss test results and options.
The options are possibly, for him to go home with some sort of care package in place, or a residential home.
Mum cant cope at home she is so scared of him hurting himself
tough times ahead i think
today was so sad
love Jane x
