Been discharged got asperation phenomena on antibiotics not eating or drinking very little
TBH, although it is good that she has been discharged from hospital (not a good place for people with dementia) this doesnt sound all that good. Aspiration pneumonia usually means that they are getting close to the end. I have a feeling it might go either way.

Please don’t feel guilty @jelba, there is only so much you can do, and you will be no good to either of them if you make yourself ill trying to do everything.

I would advice you to rest and not feel guilty, but know how hard that is in the circumstances, Jelba. I hope your employer can give you a few more days rest though, and will give you all my best wishes and strength.
