Update to kicked out update
DH is still in geri psych—day 11. Still not taking his meds regularly.
He called me yesterday and we spoke for the first time. He knew who I was and said he missed me.
Tuesday night I went to hear a doctors speak who specializes in dementia. He was fantastic! He believes in really helping families by determining a more exact stage. 4.1,5.3, etc.
He is now a part of our care team and I feel he will help guide us on the next steps.
I’ve narrowed MC down to 4 and will take a second look.
Thanks for all your support.

I hope you counted that as a win. Getting that doctor on board sounds like another win. And narrowing down your choices sounds like you're making headway there. Thanks for the update.
