Guest guest Posted May 14, 2002 Report Share Posted May 14, 2002 Hi Sally, Warren's dementia has taken over and they are trying a new drug, dumb me I didn't write down the name, to try an calm him down. Well its calmed him down so much that he's sleeping alot. Yesterday was pretty good, but couldn't hold a conversation with him. Today he was up in his " Merry Walke " which is enclosed and with a seat so he won't fall when he gets tired, he can sit. Got off the subject but he was nodding off and fiddling with his chair and arms flaying about. Itried to talk to him a bit but didn't really have any success. He coulldn't feed himself and so I fed him lunch and it seemed that his tongue didn't want to work. Drank milk & juice through a straw okay. He seemed to go to sleep right away and the NA came to help put him to bed and he couldn't stand or move his feet. We layed him down and his arms just flopped down when I lifted him. They decided he was having another mini-stroke these pass after awhile. I just called and he is up and about again. I just don't know what to expect any more. He's not close to dying they tell me but when he goes into one of those strokes it looks like it. Thanks for letting me vent, again, S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
