Worried about confusion and fatigue

[Guest guest]

My Mom continues to be so confused. It's been several weeks now and

she talks but it doesn't make a lot of sense. I've never seen her

this bad for such a long period of time. The past two days I thought

there was a little improvement, little being the key word. She is

eating and drinking a bit more, but still has edema in her feet

(taking 2 types of water pills) and is so out of it. We have a Dr's

appointment this week, but I'm so worried about her condition. I

don't know if her iron deficient anemia, low potassium and heart

problems are the underlying cause of this or if this is the LBD

acting up. It is so sudden, as I said, she was o.k. (still

conversing, going to lunch, wanting to go places) and then this. I

guess they think this is the disease progressing, but is there

ANYTHING we can do to get her to a more stable place? I'm not sure

why they haven't used Namenda or Exelon yet. She seems so fragile.

She sometimes moans in her sleep and talks a lot. Wasn't doing that

either until a few weeks ago. I reach out to this website, for any

hope. I pray and hope we can get her more stable. Thanks for being

there and listening.
