I found this. Perhaps the food volunteer was the reporter.

It sould also have been the owner of one of the newly built houses.

You mmay have already answered but is a DPOA in place?

Sometimes access to e-court records is not available on weekends. I suggest you try again tomorrow.

Can't get thru to probate--called, directed to 'main' #.   'Main' # "...mailbox full.  Operator NOT available. Icon still won't open--not sure if it's working???

Michael--LVMM at US just now. Please call me. 

Thank you ALL!  Still on pins 'n needles--just waiting & trying to reach out.  Legal assist groups are not able to get involved due to APS.

If you are using Cook County Probate Court's website, the name search and date search are not working. No matter what name you search it gives this result and nothing happens if you click the icon:

Oh, no....just sent 2nd email.  Came back undeliverable. Sorry, don't know if i hit wrong key somewhere. This chromebook has auto save & its been 'wacky' lately. It's been overworked.

My overworked 'ole flip phone went 'wacky'/out last wk.  Just got new ?smart tracphone? as temporary--spent ~6hrs with that.

Yes, I feel overworked--steep learning curve on everything---so very sorry.  It's 10pm--guess i better give ALL my devices 'n me a rest.

So very sorry I didn't notice the sooner... 

merrycaregiver

THAT's the 'icon' I get--tried  different name, yeah I get the same.

Thank-you!

Sorry for rambling-my devices (phone and maybe computer are getting wacky/burning out)...me too

merrycaregiver

Resent email this am--seems to have gone thru.  If not pls let me know

Michael Ellenbogen

I have not seen any email from you. I sent you a request to connect privately but I don’t think I saw that. I can send you my email to you that way in case you have it wrong. Thanks

Michael Ellenbogen

I am sorry but at this point I have no time to work on this as I am completely busy the next two day. Not sure why you are not getting the email to me. So sorry but I did want to help! 

merrycaregiver

Did not get 'unable to deliver msg' from computer.  Don't know what happened.

Good intentions on both our parts--wrote down & double checked address & voice msg???

Oh well, what can I say--I understand you're very busy and I won't bother you.

Thank you for speaking to me!

Merry, I just wanted to encourage you to keep breathing. This sounds so stressful, on top of all that we family caregivers are going through, losing our LOs while also trying to help them manage their lives since they cannot anymore. You and your mom deserve better. 

It just stinks that in trying to get help and access resources for our LOs, it can backfire. Please try not to stress and worry too much, but do keep trying to make your concerns and presence known with the decision-maker/s. "Keep calm, and don't give up!" 

Thinking of you, and sending positive energy your way.

Michael Ellenbogen

Can someone here help  merrycaregiver to get an email to me?

Michael Ellenbogen

FYI 

Hi MIchael -

 

Thanks for reaching out.  I have asked the team to reach out to her and connect her to the 800 number where she can speak to a care consultant.  

 

Hope you are well.

I think meeting on neutral ground with this Patrick is an excellent idea.  Perhaps he really does have some ideas for additional services that may help you and meeting on neutral ground would allow you to hear those ideas without letting him into your home to snoop around (just in case that's actually his intent).

Michael Ellenbogen

Did someone reach out to you from AA?

merrycaregiver

Thank you Butterfly--your words, your kindness.  It's that & the goodness of others that help me'

Also helps for me to 'recharge' so as to perpetuate that goodness.

merrycaregiver

It's been done & delivered.  I know that you've been a great advocate since your diagnosis in 2008--I commend you for ALL the work you've done.

Everyone has their limitations.  As you have said in various posts, you can't do everything for everyone.  Sometimes if one does too much or try too hard it can backfire & hurt.  

So, hug your wife & family.  Tell them how much you love & appreciate them.  Let them embrace you with love and let that embrace 'n love go 'round 'n 'round!

Hugs to you Michael  

Michael Ellenbogen

Great I hope they will help you in some way. I made suggestion to them on what they could do to help with your case.
