Hi all,
I,m new to this site and are struggling to find my way round, I was wanting advice on how a water infection can affect alzheimers? My mother-in-law was diagnosed in Jan 2005. This week it's all gone mad, hallucinations, calling police out getting dressed in the middle of the night etc . I'm sure this all sound familiar to you but we (As a family) weren't aware thing had got this bad, She lives in sheltered accommodation at the moment but as thing are this bad we've brought her to stay with us for the weekend.
She has a water infection and I'm told this is making her worse but she's been on antibiotics now since Wed should things be calming down by now coz We can't cope with another night with no sleep.
At what stage do we need to think of moving her as we feel she needs more care than we can provide?
Please help any advice is welcome
Rachael
