Guest guest Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Someone mentionned about being sleepy and on seroquel. My husband's dose was upped in the hospital and now in the nursing home he has been very sleepy. (As I said in another post) Now they have started lowering the dose. He was awake yesterday and part of today. They woke him up at 6:30 for a shower???? You finally get him to sleep good for the night--then wake him up early for shower?? Then by lunch time he was sleeping again and couldn't eat or take his pills. I guess another meeting with someone will be necessary. Hope this flies, some other of my posts don't ever find their way. Leona Leona: Caregiver for husband Ray, age 67, diagnosed 2/04 with Parkinson's Disease. Changed doctors, diagnosed 6/06 with LBD. Almost continual downhill slide no matter what drugs we try. 5/2/08 Ray was placed in Sunrise Nursing Home in Oswego, NY, 45 minutes from home. So far, so good! Hardest thing I have ever done in my life, however. There's a magical tie to the land of our home, which the heart cannot break, though the footsteps may roam.

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Leona, This message made it. Wonder why others haven't? Have you checked on Yahoo to see if they make it to the group and just don't make it to your home email? Let us know if you are having problems and we'll see if something can be done. I am aware we are getting duplicate messages like the one I just approved for ???Someone. (I have been reading and now can't remember) maybe it was Leona? Hugs, Donna R Caregave for Mom (after I brought her from WI to MI) for 3 years and 4th year in a nh. She was almost 89 when she died in '02. No dx other than mine.
