Hi all,
My mum stayed with me in October 13th last year, travelling to me by herself on the train. She went home and part exchang her car and completed all her paperwork.
Novemeber 7th mum was admitted to hospital with acute delirium, she was in for 1 night and then discharge. I stayed with her for the next 5 days before I called the hospital back advising the antibiotics (assumed UTI) were not working and mum was getting worse, memory fading fast / hearing things and being very confused. I took back into hospital the following day, where she was admitted and stayed there until early February this year. During her time in hospital she had two lumber punctures, MRIs, CT scan, EEG and ECG. None of which came back with any issues etc and so we /I have no idea”why” in a matter of three weeks mum was functioning completely independently to not at all.
Mum is now in a nursing home, her short term memory is almost non existent, explaining at each visit that her parents and dad are no longer with us and where she lives.She can hold a perfect conversation, but if you press for detail she gets confused.
I am wondering if anyone else has experienced a similar deterioration?
Thank you
