That night Elissa fell out of bed. Beth, her “tough” caregiver, woke every one of the staff members up. She said “I am worried about her cracking her head open. ” Julia said “I am worried about that too. Let’s bed bound her. ” Jane, another one of the caregivers, said “No doubt about it. One of these days she is going to lose an arm or a leg from falling out of bed. ”

“That is what I am nervous about. ” Beth said. “Elissa’s dad isn’t coming until Tuesday to put her new side rails on her bed. ” Julia asked “Why isn’t he coming until then?” Beth said “He is busy doing other stuff. ” Julia said “Call him. She is starting to slide. ” Elissa fell out of her chair. Julia said frantically “Da…… Da…… Da…… Come quick Beth!!!!!!!!!!!!” Beth came.

Julia and Beth monkey matted Elissa into bed. They said “You are staying in bed forever. ” Elissa started crying. They said “Elissa, you hang your head all the time. That isn’t all right. You should interact with your roommates. ” She said “I disagree. I think I can hang my head here. ” Julia said “You need to participate in conversation sweetie. Goodbye Elissa. ”
