Someone thought it would be a good idea to stop Bert's tablets for agitation and aggression,bearing in mind it has taken the Mac nurse almost 2 months to get the dose right for him at and the fact that there is now CNS involvement. I did tell them that this was not a good idea but they new better than me. They were warned last night that he was getting very aggressive but did they listen to me !! No they didn't.
At 4.30 am he kicked off big style so much so that they had to call security to try and calm him down. What he called me, the Dr's and the nurses He tied up ts unprintable but I am sure you can all imagine. He tied up the curtains because he thought there were men coming in the windows to get hit was all very distressing to watch and it went on for 4 hours until he eventually fell and only then would he allow someone to help him. After all that and it went on to some degree all day long they have now decided they were wrong and restarted his medication on a syringe driver some calm has returned. He still has a lot of paranoia and confusion but hopefully we will get sleep tonight.
Love Teri
