I live an hour away from her but I have felt the need to see for myself how she is doing. I can look at her face or hear her voice and know how her day is going. Although I understand completely, I’m having a hard time with this quarantine. She seems to be getting weaker and weaker every day.
If she can get outside, is there anywhere to sit and visit? You could even bring your own chairs if necessary, or just sit in your car.
Is she "allowed" to leave for medical appointments or the dentist? If you could find a sympathetic doctor's office you could arrange to meet her at their office and just visit with her there.
If they won't let her out of the building, can someone there help her use a smart phone to use Facetime or Zoom?
Sounds like you need to find a way to bend the rules.
As they knew he was getting weaker, the facility nurse and administrator made arrangements for our family to visit with him in a private room a few days before he passed away. We were so grateful for the time we had with him because we too, thought he could pass away without us ever seeing him again. He passed away April 18 and we miss him very much.
Then she tested positive for covid. Her condition has declined. Barely eating and drinking. Support care at this time.
It's hard to think that the last time I saw her she was fine. Now there is nothing i can do..😔. She is not alert /aware enough to respond to me on "zoom or facetime". Covid affected her mentally. I dont want to "see" her like this on camera, knowing she cannot show any response.
I know exactly how you are feeling. So surreal. So unlike our routine. I'm numb.
I miss her.😢🙏🏼❣
i saw my Father on 8th March. Then could not get in. Got call on 29th March to say he was poorly.
Deteriorated and never spoke to him again . Not the dreaded virus but aspiration and stroke. I suppose at least I saw him .
