Guest guest Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 , Looking back on my Dad's LBD, his final stage began approximately 5-6 months before his passing. It was a slow but very noticeable and steady decline until the last 2 months. His decline was noticeable by the day then. He came down with a UTI and when he entered the NF it was decided that no measures would be taken to prolong his life, including antibiotics. It is my opinion that almost any infection will progress the LBD. It took Dad 32 days to pass away after he was diagnosed with the UTI. Every case of LBD is different. For some ppl the last stage is rather long (7+months) or rather short (a matter of days). Many of us here have experienced the loss of a LO and each of us will have a different time-frame of the latter/last stage. Hang in there and continue to ask questions!! na in NC --------------------------------- Yahoo! Photos Ring in the New Year with Photo Calendars. Add photos, events, holidays, whatever.
