Things have been busy around here and the Husband and I were away for a few days to visit with his family over the holidays. I’m happy to report Dad has been doing a little better than his past ballistic episodes. I’ll recap everything in the new year when I resume a regular blogging schedule. For now, I [...]

Christmas is almost upon us and we’re trying to remain festive despite Dad’s declining health. While Dad hasn’t been completely ballistic, he’s still experiencing horrible hallucinations and is just out of his mind. Dad’s latest issues include him believing we’re all dead and therefore can’t be ourselves as well as refusing to eat or drink [...]
Went to the Doctor

Amazingly enough, we managed to get Dad out the door for his doctor’s appointment the other day. It was a pretty routine check up and the GP went over the lab results in which everything came back fine. They did not do a test for a urinary tract infection (UTI), however, the doctor said there [...]

The last few days Dad has not been completely ballistic so that’s a good thing but he’s still a handful- just a little more manageable. He’s constantly hallucinating and completely delusional and very OCD. Again, no matter what we try, nothing seems to stop the hallucinations and delusions. Also, his cognitive abilities are just completely [...]

I wish I had better news to report but unfortunately things are still really terrible with Dad. He is experiencing constant delusions and hallucinations- both visual and auditory. I can only imagine what he must be thinking and feeling- he has to be so scared. There’s no other way to describe what’s going on with [...]

Last night was absolutely horrific. Dad awoke in the night with some terrifying hallucinations. Lately he’s been hallucinating about a killer dog, Butch, in our yard who’s going to kill us. There are also these people/things called Shards outside that want to kill all of us. Therefore, he’s obsessed with having all of the doors [...]
