My Mum has LB dementia and is in a wonderful CH but just over a week ago she took a chest infection and is being treated at her CH by a special team which is attached to the local hospital consisting of 2 consultants ,senior nurses etc meaning she can have the care she would get in hospital but without the stress of a move .She has been given 2 antibiotics which has treated the infection but her swallow has gone (I didn't even know this could happen) so it's over a week without food she is getting fluids but the consultant wants to meet me on Monday if the swallow hasn't returned .I know many of you will have gone down this dreadful road is there any hope of the swallow returning now .I am dreading Monday as I know they will suggest stopping fluids and this is probably for the best as she is skin and bone and has no quality of life but it is so hard .
