Worried

I'm really worried about mom.  I am so confused on what to do.

Mom has apparently been hallucinating some lately.  I thought maybe was because of one of her meds so we decided she would quit taking it.  But she had another "spell" this morning.  It's weird, she sees her family members that are dead.

I am trying to get in touch with her doctor.  But this is scary to me.  Especially since mom is seeing/talking to dead family members.  I guess she finds them comforting, but I find it scary.  Is it a sign of some kind?  I am freaking out.

Finally got a nurse at the doctor's office to talk to me.  We talked about mom's meds and whether or not for mom to come in.  Mom has an appointment Thursday with a neurologist and we are going to wait for that appointment.  However the nurse is going to talk to mom's doctor and let her know what is going on.  If the doctor thinks I should do something differently she will call me.

Hallucinations are a very serious matter, Kathy, never mind what form they take. I hope the doctor does not wait until Thursday - keep us posted.

With hallucination, I would call & press for a sooner appointment.  Having run a neuro practice, we had slots open for "emergent" appts, as do most practices.  I'd also stay with her or bring her to your home until you can get the appointment.  I am sorry about this & have a good understanding of some of what you are going thru, though no one can know exactly.  I'll be keeping your mom in my thoughts.

Me personally I would think that you need to get her in sooner even if it means going to emergency room or urgent care center....but you do what you think is best. I hope everything turns out okay with her please keep us updated on her condition.
