Hi there - I am new to this site, so Hello. I'm hoping I can get some
Advice.
My Mum has Vascular Dementia, diagnosed 3 years ago. She is now in a residential home, has been since February. She has been very down and depressed and her communication and confusion has seen a decline.
My mum came out of hospital after having a racing heart and swollen logs, this was last week. I feel so worried that she is is deteriorating quickly, she keeps Sauk g she feels unwell and sick, and that she has had enough. Today I thought I'd try and take her out along with my 3 year old Daughter who my mum adores. Mum seemed very vacant and was falling asleep in her chair, couldn't really have much conversation, but that is quite normal for her. She then said I don't feel well, I'm not well please can we go.. I thought she was going to faint! She was very distressed and kept saying I'm sorry. Feel so sorry for her and the pain and upset she feels .
I have asked the care home that a doctor comes out to see if there is any other underlying problems or could it be that she has declined in her condition. I'm so worried and feel very upset to see her look so unwell. Has anyone else had any experience similar? Not sure if I'm being dramatic - but both my mums parents passed away from stomach cancer , so this just frightens me!!
Thanks xx
