Sad day today

Daddy has been at the WVH since March 4, 2009. He as very anxious at first but for the most part, he has been content. Today he was anxious, looking from side to side, moving around in his chair. Ethelyn had shared that he was acting stubbon last week, and he was that today and more. He didn't want us to move his chair to the table to eat, he wanted to get away. I asked him what he wanted and he looked at me with sad eyes and asked "Where am I?" I was shocked. I tried to tell him and he said "Help me".

He never smiled today.

He did eat his lunch but with no emotion and said nothing else until I got ready to go. I told him I love him and he asked "Who are you?" These are questions he has never verbalized before. I asked the nurse if his pills - especially the "Remember" pill has changed and she said no - nothing.

I left him sitting in his chair in the dining room, a confused look on his face. I cried when I got into the car. I go back tomorrow and I hope he has a better day.
