Mum was admitted to hospital on Friday. The nursing home were unable to get her to eat and found her unresponsive. She is still not eating apart from the smoothies I take in which she eats really quickly (I am managing to get her to take 1/2 a litre a day). I cannot understand how I can get her to eat yet others can't.
The doctor in A & E told me that her ability to cough up the mucus in her airways has now gone due to alzheimers and there is nothing they can do. She has a really bad chest.
I think the end may not be far away for her as she is really weak (hope I am wrong). I took her some ear phones in today so she can listen to the radio. The tv is not an option as she is blind. The consultant is seeing her tomorrow. It is a year on 12 November since dad passed away and this is all proving difficult to deal with.
In the past despite being so ill she has always managed to eat but this is so different.
I just love her so much.
