my mum is in the final stages of this awful disease, she hasn't eaten for 9 days and had no fluids for 6. She had been having epileptic fits for the last 6 months, which were being controlled with varying degrees of success. 9 days ago she had to be admitted to hospital as the fitting wouldn't stop, that was Shen she was last hydrated as they put her on a drip. She's been back at the home now for a week and had no fluids since.the fitting is still happening but to a much lesser degree. She has been having Cheyenne stokes breathing patterns since last Thursday (its now Sunday) and hasn't woken up at all.
How long can she go on? It's so painful to watch, she has a syringe driver so she's not in too much pain, but does seem distressed with the irregular breathing,. But 6 days with no fluids? Just some support and advice on what to expect in the next few days would help. Thank you
