UCSD has refused to take Camber though a doctor there said he would treat her. They are low on beds and need the ones they have for their Emergency Room patients. They also don't like lateral patients (move from one hospital to another). She is also not eating except for the burrito, etc James brings her each day she requests it. They have to use a IV and she will not go to the bathroom or open her eyes except occasionally say something. She has been in the hospital almost 50 days or so. She tries to fight off the meds but is very weak. She will not cooperate in any means to get herself well.
James told me yesterday that 2 and 1/2 years ago when they were lunching at their favorite french restaurant in the mall that she began to keep her eyes closed and not comb her hair or anything. She had had the trauma of remembering her next door neighbor and the abuse he gave her when she was around 11 or 12 when they were in court and a pedophile was before the judge. With all the other stresses of what is going on in their life she just went into a deep depression and got worse and worse. She refused to leave her room or care for herself or eat or open her eyes. Just stayed in bed all day with the TV on part of the time.
One night she became hysterical and Jacob took her to the hospital because he did not know what else to do and she has been there ever since. It is so sad. Linda sent me a picture or laying there but asked me not to share. Sooo so sad and James feels so guilty for all the stress she has do to his current problems. He also had a heart attack about 2 and a half years ago and is being treated for diabetes.
He stays sane only because he is currently working with Kent on a marketing project they have been hired for and it takes lots of planning and work but may just be the way to get income into the home again.
