Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm glad someone knows what I am talking about. I feel like I am saying the same thing over and over to some of these Dr.'s and they are not listening to me.

For example, yesterday I was visiting Dad and he was up and communicating with me, using an alphabet chart and spelling out words. He told me that he loved me & that was all it took for the tears to start rolling. Anyway, I could also see his eyes getting big & scared at things in the room that weren't really there. I asked him if he was seeing things in the room and he shook his head yes. Then, because he was agitated, the stupid resident on call(sorry but I really didn't like the guy) orders the nurse to give him more morphine!!! Forget it, his eyes glazed over, and he began kicking and shaking! I have told them so many times that the morphine is making him nuts! I can see it there, and I saw it at home.

Maybe your post gave us some good luck, because I just got home from the hosp. & I LOVE his doctor and nurse now. I had a long discussion with them both & told them exactly what I think about his treatment (or lack there of) & they were very apologetic and concerned. They are weaning him off the morphine and switching to another med. FINALLY!!!

Thanks again for your post. I really appreciate it and it eases my mind so much to know we are not alone.
