My Dad didn't remember my Mom after she left for the hospital and later died. There are a few moments when we think he remembers her, but, for the most part his condition relieves his from heartache. It's a good thing, but very, very sad at the same time.<BR/><BR/>I wish him a quick recovery. His appetite is good, right? That's great.<BR/><BR/>MaryMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02040099513110890878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24229767.post-54766819839372247912008-01-20T15:18:00.000-07:002008-01-20T15:18:00.000-07:00be mindful of delirium and hospital confusion from...be mindful of delirium and hospital confusion from multiple medications; it can also cause some amnesia of the whole situation<BR/>i too am sending good thoughts you and his way.Ur-spohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04237644452200889946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24229767.post-88943387914166442942008-01-20T15:04:00.000-07:002008-01-20T15:04:00.000-07:00This must be an extremely difficult time for you b...This must be an extremely difficult time for you but try and stay as strong as you can, even though I can understand this to be a very distressing time. <BR/><BR/>Your dad looks as if he is doing well - a good appetite is a good thing.<BR/><BR/>Many hugs,<BR/>Zxxxzoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13632359601014350107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24229767.post-81720803834095176052008-01-20T10:37:00.000-07:002008-01-20T10:37:00.000-07:00I'm glad you don't feel it necessary to correct hi...I'm glad you don't feel it necessary to correct him. It takes some people a long time to learn that. For a while, friends of ours would correct their mother, and it was a new source of grief each time.
