Hospital again...
Dad wasn't able to move on Monday. Mom couldn't get him out of bed or change him. He wasn't able to help her help him. She didn't know what was wrong. She didn't know what to do. So... call 911 and get him to the hospital. At least she didn't call Brother. Dad will be in for a few days. The attending doctor will assess the current medication he's on. Dad has definitely changed over the last several months. He no longer talks, he puts his hands in his diapers and smears fecal matter all over his clothes and bedding. With his dirty hands he's rubbing his eyes and getting eye infections. Mom is constantly doing laundry. Mom has come to the conclusion that Dad needs long term care immediately. She no longer has the capacity to look after him. It was at best manageable before, but now... impossible.
