Aunt Pat's daughter emailed me about a tough weekend...

Had quite a day Sat. as Bill (Mom's boyfriend) took it upon himself to go & take Mom out of the nursing home & take her home. Had a bunch of people pretty shook up. My son Daryl got called & came & told me so all of us went to Mom's Daryl, Audrey, Lee & I.

Talk about a scene. Bill threatened all of us with guns if we tried to take Mom back. Police got called by the home staff. It was a mess. Finally got Mom into a police car & took her to ER at the hosp. APS got called. Once we got Mom away from Bill we could calm her down & reason with her. It went on from around 10 a.m. til 4:30. She was given the choice of being taken to a psych ward in Las Cruces or go back to the home. So she chose to go the home but thinks she will be there only a few days more.

Now I was told by the multiple of people that got involved that I have no choice but to get a lawyer & try get legal guardianship. After all those hours of trauma & gun threats & a ride to the hospital by police. Just before we took her back to the home she looked at Audrey & said what happened to me anyway how did I wind up here in the hosp. No memory at all what had gone on all day...
