BeyondtheRainbo,
I like the "Safe Bubble" theory because she felt more comfortable near the nurses station than when she was mixed in with the other patients. Some of the medical staff was suggesting that she wants a life of dependency. I disagree, I believe her illness is driving this. What is strange to me is we are family and friends and that is when her anxiety rises, I would think we would be a part of the safe bubble.

She knows the basics, president, date, day, where she is but her body just does not synch up in other aspects. Once we leave she is relaxed (I think) and sits and waits for whatever is next.
