My mother is now in late stage dementia and seems to have swapped words for numbers. She lies in bed and just calls out numbers. A few days ago it was the alphabet but that has now gone too. She sleeps most of the time and in the past week has dramatically lost a lot of weight and is almost skeletal. She is hardly eating or drinking just a few teaspoons of porridge and sips of tea of water. Are we reaching the end....or is this just yet another stage of this awful journey? I would really appreciate your knowledge and experience
