I don't think mum was aware of my presence at all today. Any food or drink is just sitting in her mouth. They are giving droplets of drink but even that is not being swallowed.

Surely she can't go on like this for long?

She did seem peaceful though, I am thankful for this.

My wife who has Lewy body is only 58 yrs old and got this when she was 51. She too cannot swallow well and it takes me ages to get tablets into her. They don't come in fluid so I open up the capsule and put the powder in some jam...but then she clenches her teeth...!all the best.

Hello soobee

I'm so sorry I've missed so much of your mums final struggle. When Dhiren was at that stage the home got a gel called oral balance which is rubbed on the gums and is a substitute for saliva.

 

[Soobee]

Hi Sylvia,

I asked about saliva substitutes but they didn't think mum would open her mouth enough as it is hard enough to get her to open enough to put the swabs around occasionally.

 

[garnuft]

Dear Soobee, it's good to hear your Mum is peaceful.
It must be so hard for you.

I hope your Mum's peace continues.

I hope you are as well as you can be, given the circumstances and hope you're taking care of yourself too. love, G XXX

 

[SisterAct]

Aww Soobee
So sorry to hear about your Mum. It is so frustrating because you are limited as to how you can help.
I just hope your Mum remains pain free on her journey.
Please take care of yourself too
Luv
Polly xx

 

[Soobee]

thanks. I do suffer with IBS which is flaring up at the moment because it's stress-related and there is nothing I can do except endure it (and be near a loo!)

My workplace are being very supportive so that is one less worry. On a good day everything is fine - but even on a good day I am shedding a few tears at some point, (not sure if they're for mum, for me or because I'm missing my dad).

I can't believe the change in mum in just one month. I never thought it would be like this.

Sending warm wishes your way and saying a prayer for mum x
