It is a miracle from God that she is still with us. She is currently in a skilled nursing home for rehabilitation. The biggest thing we have noticed is her agitation, confusion, depression. She takes most of this out on my poor father who has been by her bedside every day for a month and a half. He spends 10-12 hours at the nursing home every day. He tries to help, but everything he does is "wrong" according to my mom. Does anyone have any advice? She is on two antidepressants. He says he's ok, but I know this has to be very difficult for him. Thanks!
