Thank you to everybody who answered with suggestions or sympathy. You have no idea what it means to me. I was feeling alone and kind of lost. Your words really helped.
My girlfriend is weak, but cognizant and I actually haven't seen any signs of delusion today. She has been able to hold a conversation with me, and so far, follows my instructions regarding meds and food. She is confused about her hospital stay, she believes the doctors messed with her mind and that's why she had delusions. She's pretty stuck on that idea, and I see no harm in letting it go for now. She no longer believes her daughter was poisoning her, unfortunately her daughter is now a little scared of her. Not physically, but afraid to talk much to her for fear of being yelled at again. Oddly enough my girlfriend, who normally has a strong personality and is very talkative and outgoing, has been very quiet, meek even. Hoping as she eats and gets stronger she will gain strength.
It's only been 1 day, but I'm seeing progress, seems like she's better trhan the day she entered the hospital 18 days ago.
