challenging mum

just came home not too long ago. been a very long evening. left work to meet bee for dinner but before we even had the chance to head to the dining place, my bro called. mum was again making noise about moving out of the house. this time round, she was convinced she would be killed if she continue to stay in my bro's place. i suggested to my bro to bring her to see the psychiatrist, but my mum started screaming at him. i called kl to seek his opinion and was advised to sent her to a&e instead. she seemed to be in a state of delirium and has been hallucinating. and the past couple of days, she was so convinced my maid and sis-in-law are trying to kill her that she stop eating any food offered to her by them...

my bro was really at his wits ends. in the end i went to his place to fetch her. and in the process convinced her to head to the hospital to undergo a medical check. thank goodness she was receptive to my coaxing. by the time we arrived at the hospital, it was 8plus. she was placed in the observation ward and i accompanied her there. and during the period i was there, she was really vocal, she was uttering lots of not too nice things and expletives about my sis-in-law and my maid. sighs... to me, it was clear that she was being suspicious. and she was obviously living out her past and had unfairly put lots of her pass angst onto my sis-in-law. not too good at all!

after all the test, etc, the doctor concluded that she did not have any infection and that under any normal circumstances, she would be discharged. but after checking with us and finding out that she has been refusing food, throwing tantrums, and being superbly suspicious of people around her, the doctor decided to admit her instead. and of cos, when i told mum about it, she cried...

sighs...
