She is actually doing much better. The first day was mighty rocky but that's to be expected in the circumstances of an intensive care psych unit. Yesterday she was feeling better and had actually had a number of hours of uninterrupted sleep which is critical right now.
Monday is a meeting with her Doc, her therapist, a social worker or two and her and I to get a treatment plan figured out. She has already been tenatively approved for ECT treatments starting Tuesday. If she doesn't get involved with the courts and her conditions improve in present order, she might be coming home by the end of the month.
There is a possibility that she might be entered into the legal system based upon what she told her therapist and if so she will have to in the hospital at least 30 days and perhaps more. That will turn into a problem because the hospital won't be recognizing my insurance after 30 September. That could get spendy quick...
Anyway, son Kye came to visit her yesterday, unbidden, and that really made her afternoon. I had stopped at his and Sara's house on my way to visit the spouse to ensure they were completely informed of the circumstances and Kye, in just a little while got himself a shower and drove across town to see his mom. It was really good and she was so pleased to see him.
So more to follow. I'm holding up ok. My homework is falling behind but I'm going to remedy that as soon as I finish this post!
