My mother is in a care home. She hasn't eaten for weeks, just takes sips of milk. She's so thin, doesn't speak. The problem is, my sister and I have been here several times before and somehow she has picked up. Two weeks ago we were told they were ordering anticipatory medication, were withdrawing her regular meds and would make her comfortable. We were preparing ourselves, but once again she picked up ever so slightly. Now she has gone back to sleeping most of the time. There is still a light in her eyes when she's opens them. How long will this go on? The emotional rollercoaster is exhausting.
