Hello everyone
I decided not to keep posting with every worry about my mum, but you were all so supportive last week, I thought I’d post again.
I had a phone call this morning from the nursing home. My mother Joy has been on increased Valium and has been really confused. She isn’t angry any more and instead of pressing the buzzer every 10 mins, is calling out all the time when awake.
Only, she’s calling for her parents and Jesus and Mary “Jesus’s mother”. She used to be a churchgoer and would say she’s a Christian.
She told the carers she was calling out for her mum as she’s only a little girl who needs her mummy.
I saw her today and she’s not making any sense at all, though at times remembered some things, like the fact that the flowers I had bought her last visit were from the coop.
I suggested a UTI to the staff but they tested her and it’s not that.
I don’t know how long she’s going to go on like this.
I wondered if she’s seeing my grandparents near her and if that’s the case, does that mean she’s dying?
I hate seeing her like this but selfishly as well I am scared.
