It’s not as good as it looks. Elvon doesn’t know what hit him, where he is, or even who I am. He is terrified by everything and screams bloody murder when the staff come near him. They do, you know. They also take him for radiology, and he hollers, and I cringe and feel terrible. He cannot understand what happened, or even acknowledge that he hears you.
Susan drove down yesterday, and provided more support to me, than she could to him. We all try, the staff are great, but we are not getting through to him. It’s very hard to watch.
We are definitely not getting any respite. But he just woke up for a bit, and did know who I am. So things might be improving.

You and Elvon are very much in my thoughts and prayers Helen. God Bless!

Hi Helen – Wow! What a trial of circumstances to deal with. Glad you have Susan with you for support. Hopefully Elvon will calm down once he knows he’s being taken care of and you and Susan are are there to support his needs and let him know that he’s getting the care he needs. Do take care of yourself…! ~~ S

blockquote, div.yahoo_quoted { margin-left: 0 !important; border-left:1px #715FFA solid !important; padding-left:1ex !important; background-color:white !important; } Helen – I am so sorry to hear of this difficulty since leaving for the fire. I have heard that anxious and stressful situations are particularly challenging to the fragile nervous system and brain. I am going to make an off the wall suggestion or idea. There is something called ER 911 from NET Remedies that may be useful. It is a anti-anxiety homeopathic preparation that is meant to be sprayed in the mouth but perhaps with a dropper could be put in water. Also something similar is Recue Remedy. These can be used with humans and animals. We have used them personally to good effect for ourselves through stressful times and also for our cats we have had. Anyway, just a thought – sometimes grasping for straws yields a piece that is useful. If you try it and it helps then I can recommend a cheaper substitute for the ER 911. Both these can be purchased through Internet but Rescue Remedy can be gotten at Whole Foods. Looking forward to seeing you when you return!Jeff

Grasping at straws is good. There’s a Whole Foods less than 2 miles from here. I’ll get Rescue Remedy on the way home. Thanks!
