I hav...Robin, my heart goes out to you to no end...<br />I have a small suggestion which might help. When my father was in the hospital with his subdural hematoma, the bleeding in his head had worsened, and he completely blanked on my name. You could tell that he knew who I was by the look in his eye and by the fact that he kept pointing to me. What his Speech Therapist recommended was to get photos of all family and loved ones and put the names of who was in each picture on the back. This way, anyone who visits can review the photos and the names of the people with your Dad. Also, take the fact that he calls everyone "Robin" as a complement. My father called everyone, man or woman my deceased mother's name for a couple weeks. But try the photo trick. It helped my Dad to some degree. xoxoCara Meyershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05929269041124368708noreply@blogger.com
