Guest guest Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 Sharon, thank you dear. This is terrible news. The nurse at the nursing home should have known what was wrong with him. It makes me so angry I could spit! I love Jan very much, and Jim has become part of my life, in that she has related so many things with which I can identify, and in turn it is teaching me.

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 I am so glad that Jim is getting treatment. Its so sad that he was allowed to sit in wet diapers for so long. I know Jan knew he wasn't feeling well. Its too bad it took the staff several days to catch it. Vallerie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
