Following a few months of eating & drinking very little, Mum is now on day 4 of not eating at all, she has been bed bound for the last 6 weeks. She is accepting juice at the moment but in decreasingly small amounts. I am very lucky in that I live within walking distance of the CH and have increased my daily visits to 3 times per day to cover meal times to assist with what was a lengthy process when she was still accepting food. But will be dropping back to twice daily but longer visits as I work part time and can't afford to give up the job. I have been fortunate to enjoy little pamper sessions with her, where I massage sweet scented lotions into her hands and face, I read to her, listen to her favourite tunes or just sit and hold hands quietly. Her pain is being controlled and although she experiences boughts of anxious restlessness she appears overall peaceful, calm and comfortable. The CH are also happy for my little dog to accompany me, he was ecstatic to see her again but sadly she doesn't recognise him, however he just lies quietly under her bed during our visits. I know things may change and possibly become more difficult for both of us but right now I feel blessed that things are peaceful.
