Hello Laura.
I went over to drop things off and check on Mom. At first she seemed ok as we all sat down to chat in the family room. It was only about 5 minutes later that Mom started getting restless and got up and left the room. I asked her if my conversation bored her (jokingly trying to keep things light), and she just no and kind of mumbled something as she walked out. A few minutes later I heard her walking around out in the living room. I thought I heard the door open so both Dad and I got up to check. She hadn't left yet but she was likely checking the door to see if it was open. She was then in the closet getting her coat. I asked her where she was going and she just kind of glared at me and said she was going out. Dad and I kept an eye on her and she was just picking up sticks in the yard for about 5 minutes or so and then she came back in. I let her know that I needed to get back to work and she said she wanted to walk me to my car. I motioned to Dad to follow. As I got in the car, Mom kind of stepped inside the door, crouched down and then said, "Mike. I need your help". I asked her if she needed to go to the doctor and she said no. She then said, "I need help with the S#@!face I am married to". I told her to not say things like that and she glared at me again as she stepped away. She is obviously dealing with a lot of anger towards Dad. Not sure what is triggering that but it is definitely evident. We might want to see if Mom can get in to some Christian counseling or maybe even a Christian physiatrist/psychologist. As far as Dad calling the doctor, he keeps telling me he needs to call them but he has told me that the last few times I have spoken to him. Not sure why that hasn't been done yet. He needs to at least get the results of the blood work that was done over a month ago. I think he at least needs to make another appointment to have the doctor talk to her. Just my opinion. Sorry for the detailed report. Probably would have been easier to just call you. Let me know what you think. If you want, we can touch base in the next day or so via phone. God bless!
Thank you,
Michael B

I saw them last week and Mom didn't seem to be so bad at that time but it sounds like she is having problems again.  I know that she is refusing to do the MRI that the doctor wanted done.  I had talked to her about and told her that she really needs to have this done but I think she is still refusing at this point.  I know that Dad has made some calls to the doctor's offices and he said that he had not heard anything from them. Normally I would go over after work but I have something scheduled tonight.  Please let me know what you find out, thanks.

Hello Laura.

I talked to Dad last night about Mom. I asked him if he called the doctor and if he had done anything about the testing. He said he hasn't called the Doctor and even gotten the results of Mom's blood tests. He said she is doing ok but is still kind of talking about her her Dad (Grandpa Silva). Just got a call from Dad and he said that Mom got up this morning, got dressed and expected to be driven her to Saginaw. Dad has kind of been "playing along" but told her that he didn't have their phone numbers. I am still concerned that things. I don't want Mom to get mad and just walk out the door. She probably won't but who knows. Just too many unknowns at this point. I am heading over to their house now to drop off some tax stuff I printed for Dad. I will let you know how things are from my perspective after the visit. 

Thank you,
Michael B
