Well probably not the medical classification of catatonic but pretty similar. Mum just lay there quietly not responding. My daughter initially thought she had died.
In between sleep phases (which is marked by sleep behaviour..eyes shut...visibly wakes etc) she talks a lot and rearranges the bedding, often waving her feet in the air, plucking the bedding, repetitive actions and often cross and vocal.
Today she just stared into space. Occasional eye contact so not complete catatonia but barely anything since lunchtime. She has drunk milk when the spout is rested against her mouth.
She’s been made ready for bed and rolled onto her side....and is lying there eyes open but unseeing. This is really not her.
Any ideas??
