Hi. My mum has had dementia for 8 years and the last 4 years she has depended on carers and family for personal care and everything. On the 24.8.17 she was rushed to hospital for a suspected stoke. She had a CT scan and they found several blood clots on the brain. So an operation was not a option. So palliative care was offered. She has been in a nursing home for 6 weeks. Not eating or drinking very much. She sleeps a lot and is not very vocal. When she was home she had a lot of anxiety about being left alone. And now she just sleep all day. She is 84 and diabetic and has high blood pressure. But since August her sugar levels are low and her BP ok. I just can't believe she is still with us. Some days she is ok and other days she is in so much pain and they give her morphine. She hallucinating and seeing a lot of small children around her. They say she is not end of life but needs palliative care. She has been in bed since August 2017. Unsure how long my heart can take the pain she may be suffering I sit was her everyday for 3 to 4. I want her here forever but cannot bear the suffering she is going through.
