He's Afraid

Nancy called me at 8:45 this morning and said CP was a mess. He didn't know who he was, where he was and so I called Reid and he called CP. After talking to CP and getting him calmed down Reid asked if he wanted him to come home, he did not as his memory was improving and knew what was going on.

Nancy's notes:
I was fixing CP's breakfast and heard the garage doors open. I ran down to find the back door and both garage doors open and CP walking towards the street. I called to him. He was very confused. He said that Morrow Mountain had been hit by a tornado. He asked me where his wife and baby daughter were and if they were ok. I got him to calm down and I told him he lived with his son Reid. CP knew who I was but thought we all lived in NC. He said he wanted Reid becuase he thinks he has had a stroke. I ask why do you think you had a stroke. He says because his arm hurts and because he can't remember anything. I remind him about the fall on Monday and tell him that is why his arm hurts and then tell him that he has Alzheimer's and that it's okay.

I ask, do you want me to call Barbara? He says yes he wants to talk to Barbara. I called you and then Reid called. After he talks to Reid he is calmer and I paid extra attention to him today. I hope he does okay tonight.
