Hi there
It is time to review mum's care plans and look at her end of life care - recently they just tired to withdraw mums Respiridone stating she was sleeping through her meals and starting to loose weight ( she gained 10kg when she was put on it)
The reduction of her meds was a disaster she spend nights screaming and ripping at her pads it was terrible to see her exhausted from no sleep the night before
I will be honest I'm angry at the care home decision as they did not include me I would have cautioned as mums behavior had been so bad i would have said please be very careful
anyway
the reson the nurse said she had changed it was.......................mum was sleeping through meals and was begining to loose weight
sorry but isnt that a progression
my main question is when i said this she accused me of wanting htem to neglect mum
how is letting the disease progress and allowing my mum to peacefully sleep her way out of this suffering not in her best interests?
I'm wanting to ask they leave her to sleep if she doesn't want to eat, the run up to where we find ourselves now has been extremely difficult with her paranoia and obsession with a pretend husband'
Can I ask she be allowed to sleep through meal times?
Isnt inner peace a much better goal that mantaining a dying persons weight?
Any advice greatly appreciated xx
