Peak View Behavioral Health, Colorado Springs
Just to catch you up. All of Mom’s crazy thoughts are gone. No more devils or unfounded fears!! Hooray!!! She has good happy days…But, her nights are a terror and this is an understatement, I’m afraid… She sleeps about an hour, even with a heavy sleeping pill. The rest of the time, she is anxious, […]
What to do, what to do….
Mom has been doing pretty well the past couple of weeks. We’ve had some really good days with her. I have Annette staying with her 4 days a week, and I’ve spent a lot of day time with her. Then she has someone staying the nights. I’ve been hoping and praying that she’ll start doing […]
Beyond Haven Behavioral Senior Care…
Mom’s been out of the Hospital for a week, now…What a week! She was discharged from Haven Behavioral last Saturday. They had lost her tri-fold glasses and her shoes with orthotic insoles in them(which they had taken away from her the first day because they had shoe strings in them). Thankfully, I noticed that the […]
User Friendly?…Let’s get Mom out of Haven Behavioral Senior Care, Thornton, Colorado
If you are reading this and considering an admission to a Psych Hospital some place, be sure that you do your homework and check for happy customers~ I can’t sleep for the anticipation of what’s to come. I’ve asked God to take it over and guide me. And MOSTLY the week has gone well with […]
My visit with Mother at Haven Behavioral Senior Care
I wish that I could say that we are completely impressed with the place we’ve had to leave Mother. The good news is that I believe that she is safe and the immediate need to act, the feeling of emergency has somewhat passed. It it is yet to be seen if Haven Behavioral Senior Care […]
Haven Behavioral Senior Care, Thornton Colorado
Well, that’s where Mom is, now… I keep thinking that things are going to calm down, up here. But, I guess I haven’t learned all that God wants me to learn from all of this. I keep saying that I’m a fast study and it’s OK to get this over with. Over the past few […]
Halloween was a scream we’d like to forget…
Hi everyone! Thank you for keeping up with us. In fact if YOU are keeping up with us, you may be doing better than WE are! Again, I’ve procrastinated in writing, hoping for good news to report…this ISN’T good news, I’m afraid. I must preface this and give a little recap and possible explaination….Dr. Trautner, […]
How do you deal with dementia and OCD in someone that you love?
I’m very tired and trying to keep my hopes and attitude high. I am someone who has prided myself in having more faith, hope and love than most people do. I see myself as persevering and doing it with a smile. I’m afraid that I’m feeling the thinning of those virtues and even forgetting to […]
New Hope for OCD in “The Brain That Changes Itself”
I’ve been doing a lot of studying about Mom’s condition and I really think that she’s pretty classic OCD, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. I’ve been reading and will share more with you, when I get home from Mexico. But, the best hope that we have is for Mom to be able to realize that her fears […]
Our Older generation is a treasure we’re hiding…
Our older generation is a treasure that we’re hiding… There is something that has happened in our society, in our culture. That thing is the hiding of our precious gems. Somehow, most young people were not raised to value the old. Have we unknowingly created this community value or should I say, “lack of community […]
