This has all been so sad. He is still in the latest psych hospital and way worse. They gave him 25 mg of Haldol last weekend. He pushed a resident who then needed stitches. And the two places I thought would accept him have turned him down.
I am so upset about the Haldol - his parkinsonianism is worse. I’m also upset about the incident but this is not him. It’s the Lewy.
@centre you are right on about it all but I have little control other than warning staff about certain fixations. And now on a mission for a more appropriate setting.
Trish if you’ve been following me you can imagine the devastation.
I wish I had chosen a strictly memory care facility instead of the one here but I can’t look back. Things have progressed as I was told it would but all of its wrong- wrong meds, environment, all of it. I’m so sad and feel helpless.
I’m now thinking out of the box and may have to think out of town for placement.
Thank you all for your thoughts and we need prayers.
I’ll keep you posted.

Hi Mary:
Virtual support and hugs as you navigate this nightmare.
Do you have any family members or close friends helping you? Anyone who is physically close able to accompany you when you go to the facilities to support you, and as a second set of eyes/ears?
Wishing you lots more support and hope your health is still kind of alright and no ulcer yet!
