When the drs. put him in the hospital He couldn't walk nor talk. He didn't even know who I was. They kept telling me I would never be able to bring him home . That He would have to be put in a Nursing home , with 24 hr care. Not so. He was put in the hopital because He had a stroke, his 7th major stroke, phenewomia & pd was so bad. But after rehab & lots of Prayers. He is home with me now. He is able to walk, talk , got to the bathroom walk up steps feed himself & goes to Church. He knows Me now & most of the people at Church. Thank you for a wonderful testimonial about the restorative powers of home, love and God. Please, everyone out there, understand that when anyone with a profound neurological condition suffers a crisis they *frequently* become disoriented when hospitalized. Sometimes the disorientation is a direct result of electrolyte imbalance and/or decreased cardiovascular function. Just because a person is confused in the hospital *does not mean they will be equally confused at home.* So, if your hospitalized loved one does not recognize you or the kids - or insists that there are spiders crawling on the wall or dinosaurs lurking the bathroom, take heart. The condition is probably temporary. ----- God bless Mary Ann Ryan RN (CG Jamie 60/20)
