Hi. I posted a few weeks ago about my mum. She is still in hospital....but getting worse by the minute after picking up (once again) when she first went in a month or so ago. She is finding it very hard to drink and eat...even though they have taken her off the drip. She is also incontinent.....and doesen't really know me at all. I know in my heart she is 'giving up' and I cant stand to watch this. I dont think she is in pain....and looks comfortable. Today I see the doctor and she told me there is nothing medically wrong with my mum....her heart, lungs etc are ok. She has no infection (at the minute) its just she is in the very last stages of dementia....and this is what happens. Does anyone else have experience or advice they can give me? Iam looking for a suitable nursing home for her....but it all seems a waste of time. The doctors are very busy....and when I come away I always remember loads of questions I didn 't ask. Iam so confused with it all. She can no longer sit on the chair and is bed ridden. How long can a person carry on like this for? She weighs about 5 stone. I know it is difficult for anyone else to 'guess' what is going to happen... but I really would appreciate some advice of what to expect...and even.....as she is 'medically sound' is there a possibility she might even improve. Any advice would be appreciated. Kind regards. PP xx
