Things are not grand. Bob woke up at 3:30 this morning and was combative. They had to give him that antipsychotic med again. The first day they gave it it worked well. This time it did not. He has not been back to sleep. He has not eaten. He has not drank anything He is not speaking and he is confused. It is causing him to be fidgety and pick at everything. Honestly I believe he thinks I am going to disappear. He is understandably weak from being sick, being in bed, not eating. I struggled and got him into bed once. I went to sit own and make some appointments. He got out of bed and came out to find me. He sat with me a while then got up and took the long way around to the bedroom. He could not make it. I follow him with a chair, and with a walker. He is in bed fidgeting with the pillows now. I am staying right here for the most part. I hope he goes to sleep soon. He will be better when he wakes up. His eyes are so droopy. I have known of people who stayed awake 72 hours straight with that medicine. He does know who I am. He even showed me that he needed a hug. Please keep praying and sending good thoughts our way, By the way, I hate the laptop.

Yvonne and I send our best wishes to you both I'm glad he knows who you are and he showed you that he needed a hug. I think that is important We will send all the good thoughts we can, I know how much I appreciated all the good thoughts people sent me and Yvonne when it looked a bit dark and gloomy for us.

Thinking of both of you. Being back home should help him relax and get oriented again.

It's keeping you connected to the world-- to us-- to your support system. That's what you need right now. I'm glad you're doing okay, well as okay as you can be given the circumstanceses. Bob's body will eventually force sleep, but waiting for it is painful to watch. I hope he recovers, and if not, finds peace. I'm behind on what's going on with him, but I'm sending good vibes your way.

Tough times indeed. I am praying for him to get well and for some peace to you too. Not easy to look after people who are really struggling.
