Hello This is my first post. My Mum has had dementia for nearly five years, she lived on her own with help from carers until last summer when she kept wandering out at night so I took the huge decision to have her home with me and give up work to look after her until Christmas, when her mood swings and demands where very difficult and she became increasingly immobile. She is now in a care home where she settled quickly but became very vocal, shouting all the time and not always nice things! Anyway she was admitted to hospital on Tues this week with a nasty UTI, had intravenous antibiotics for 48 hours and is now clear but she is still in hospital not eating or cooperating with anything or anyone, she screams when the nurses do anything for her and in my opinion seems to have given up. Is this possible? I am trying to speak to the doctor today. Thanks.x
