Guest guest Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Shirley, I am very sorry to hear about Steve. Our thoughts and prayers are with him. Please give him a big get well. Terri G. > > Steve is very, very ill. He is in ICU. With a breathing tube, and lots of pain meds. > My last email to you guys was telling you how good his care giver was. NOT! She abused him, stole from him, money and drugs, and threatened to send him to nursing home. Sometimes he didn't get anything to eat until 2pm. and he has lost over 20 pounds in last few months. He was afraid to tell anyone because she threatened him. I am still on the disabled list, and he knew I couldn't come in and stay with him. He finally called me and said he needed help, he is bed ridden and completely dependent on his care giver. Sometimes he was left in care of a 14 year old. His bed sores were so bad, a child's fist could fit in the sore. She was being paid by The State 24/7 but was leaving him to go to another job. Just be careful who you hire. The authorities can't do anything. No proof!! > And please pray for him. He is strong but is just getting over pneumonia, and being run down is not helping his condition any. > I am staying at his apartment to take care of his dog. Have found all kinds of notes he has written. Like she left the front door open and cold air coming in right on him, took 7 times for her to answer his call for something to drink, and for his pain meds. On and on. We should have paid more attention, but she didn't encourage company. She told my grandaughter it wasn't necessary for her to check on him. He was fine. > And he wouldn't tell anyone. She was always standing on the other side of the wall listening, and then would take it out on him. > EVIL > Shirley > > > --------------------------------- > Talk is cheap. Use Yahoo!

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Shirley, please give Steve a gentle hug for us when you see him. What an awful person, to abuse & neglect him like that. This brings up my bad side, that wants to wish something horrible on her, so that she can lie helpless & know what it's like. But I don't want to waste energy on that; let the universe take care of her. I know as his mother how painful this must be. You've done such a good job helping him, with your own health problems. Does Steve have a case manager, someone to coordinate his needs? That would probably be helpful when he comes back home, to get trustworthy & compassionate caregivers. Are you able to take care of yourself, as far as your emotional needs? Do you have someone to lean on? I will keep both you and Steve in my thoughts & prayers.

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 Shirley, Blessing to you and your family, you have been a remarkable mother to Steve, and you've shared with us many times about Steve and his condition. I thank you for that, and pray that peace and rest will cover your hearts in knowing that Steve was tired, but he also knew he was loved. Thank you for sharing Steve with us. -- Steve Wells Steve passed away Wednesday.. He had a fever of 107.2 and was in a coma like condition. We removed his life support and let him go. He was ready and the day before opened his eyes and squeezed his brothers hand as if to say let me go. No more pain. Shirley New Yahoo! Messenger with Voice.
