  3. Jackie, what a lift of spirits you have been. Thank you for thinking the way you do. I would much rather be in a position to help, but I bawled. So I don't see how I could be an inspiration. Thank goodness, today, was a better day. I have to go t

  6. Your mother is caring for your Dad? I know it gets very difficult when they need 24 hour care. My mother passes 3 years ago and we soon found out how little our father could do. We drove an hour to his house every week and called daily. We manage

  8. I agree with, Donna, 100%. Kathy, I was going to keep my Don at home, and found I couldn't do it. The more accidents he had on the floors and his chair, and the more he refused to do what I asked (Please darling put on these briefs. (Depends)) He

  9. Don't forget to check and see if she had a UTI while you are checking. Usually this behavior goes with that too. Hugs, Donna R Caregave for Mom (after I brought her from WI to MI) for 3 years and 4th year in a nh. She was almost 89 when she died

  10. Hi Kat, I'm very sorry to hear about your mother. Breaking a hip can be a very serious injury for the elderly and it can be life threatening. I believe it all depends on the physical health of the individual and how compromised they were before it

  12. Considering your mother's rapid decline and the fact that she has been on Respirdal since May, I would definitely link the 2 in my mind. It sounds like your mother needs a doctor who knows LBD and HOW to treat it! Ativan may very well take her down

  13.   Leah, my husband hadn't eaten much for awhile, but when they discontinued both food and water, it took about four days.  They can't subsist long without liquid, but I think their body can draw on itself for food for awhile.  Most people go from

  14. I'm sure I will be sad when he passes but in truth the man who was my father left a long time ago. I am at peace because of my faith in God that Dad is going to a better place and will be reunited with my mother whom he loved so much that even now,

  16. My Dad is the reverse. He's awful in the morning- totally out of it, hard to function, difficult to manage. Usually around 5pm and through the rest of the evening he's more alert, a little like his old self, will eat, take his pills, etc. It's almost

  20.   Jan, I wouldn't doubt that it could have if he was fighting it.  When I had surgery, they put the tube down my throat after I was out.  I complained about it bothering me after the surgery and causing me not to be able to sleep that night, so

  23. Hi June- I am assuming you don't get the snow we get here in Iowa. It will take a few days above 32 for all our snow to melt. The streets are mostly melted but it would take a lot of raking snow to get to our leaves. Our temps. got up to 54 today,

  24. , there seems to be a lot of our LOs suffering from dry eyes, including my mother. If you can find a connection with LBD more power to you! In the end, when she needed drops, it was suggested it was because of her eyes being shut so much. However,
