I came home emotionally spent last night and came to this site for some help and that's exactly what I got after reading all your posts. Thank you all so much. I'm very anxious at night because I hate to leave Neil when he feels most vulnerable even though he had an aide that stays in his room with him. She is very nice and last night i found out how capable she is. She saw a pill in his mouth that the LPN had given him but he didn't swallow as it was stuck. That woman probably saved him from choking on it later. Needless to say i felt better that she was there. I guess we have to take our victories whever we can find them.
