Thank you both so much. So, the dilirium has improved. He was transferred to a Long Term Acute Care facility today and I have to be in court tomorrow to obtain guardianship (temporary). I couldn't go with him at the time. The facility is 2 and 1/2 hours away from our home. So, I will visit on Thursday and stay until Saturday. He has called me 3 times today. He says he is confused and doesn't know where he is. I softly spoke to him and said I know where he is and why. I reminded him that he is there to get stronger so he can come home. He just needs reassurance. I am very tired these days but I know he is scared and just wants to know he is okay and safe.

@emsweller
I am imaginging that your husband is happy to see you today. There is no doubt in my mind that you are exhausted. I also think that you are an exceptional caregiver and a loving wife.

@emsweller, just checking in. How are you doing?
