Pages: 1 | 2 | (show all) My Mother in Law disapeared (she is found, but...) updated       #301646 - 03/07/07 06:13 AM Edit Reply Quote khyricat Reged: 08/05/04 Posts: 3612 Loc: Michigan She has Alzheimers, but until now has been able to get herself to and from her volunteer work 3 times a week- not far from the house... and Steve (husband) tests her 2 other times a week on the route and on knowing her phone #. We cancelled her cell phone because she never took it with her and it was NEVER used.. if she did have it.. She did have about 50$ in her purse.. Anyway- she left the nursing home at 11:30 yesterday AM and never got home.. We got a call at 4:30 from her husband hoping she had contacted us... she hadn't... at 7 they finally filed a police report (federal missing persons report with her description AND her car info listed). At 9 we finally went home to feed animals and rest... at 3:45 this AM she was found- having been in a car/Train accident... all I know is she is in stable condition and they told Steve to go get her and he could take her home. She was an hour and a half away! We know she won't get her keys back after this... but what else can we do...

She started out at 11:30 AM and at 1 AM she hit a TRAIN. The train WAS moving and she was going 50 miles per hour when she hit the side of it. The car was thrown 1/8 mile and they had to cut her out with the jaws of life.. BUT SHE WALKED AWAY.. she has NO broken bones.. just 7 stitches on her legs.. and some bumps and bruises.. -------------------- Dietetics Student (anticipating RD exam in Aug 2010) IBS - A Dairy Allergic Fructose and MSG intollerant Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: My Mother in Law disapeared (she is found, but...)       #301775 - 03/08/07 06:57 AM Edit Reply Quote khyricat Reged: 08/05/04 Posts: 3612 Loc: Michigan Thanks Michelle... we know- no more car though so no need to remove the keys like we'd been planning... -------------------- Dietetics Student (anticipating RD exam in Aug 2010) IBS - A Dairy Allergic Fructose and MSG intollerant Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Yes, it is!       #301778 - 03/08/07 07:36 AM Edit Reply Quote hohoyumyum Reged: 05/28/03 Posts: 2263 Loc: SacTown, CA Something else to show us that we are not alone.

Reged: 10/14/04 Posts: 2518 Loc: Michigan Oh wow! What a horrible thing to have to go through! You guys must have been so worried. That disease is so awful. It robs the family and the person who has it of so many things. Glad to hear she wasn't hurt badly. Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Pages: 1 | 2 | (show all)
