Sophia Mas from Stewart-Marchman called to tell me that mom had received another card from me in the mail.
I asked Sophia if she liked it, and she told me that it was hard to tell because she didn’t seem to be aware of anything, and that when she tried to get her to read the card, it simply dropped from her hands to the floor.
The good news (!) is that Sophia confirmed that they are now “flushing her system” and she is no longer being administered any anti-psychotic drugs, including Risperdal.
Here are my notes from the call:
