Guest guest Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 Just an update - she's still sleeping most of the time... Monday PM she was alert, eating, said my name; Wednesday the social worker said she will be ready to go back to the dementia floor on Friday; Wednesday PM she was asleep the whole time; Thursday AM received the call that the room she was to get is now not available so she won't move until next week; Thursday PM received the call that they're concerned with a temperature and she was having a 'bad day', and she is drooling and not swallowing and they have a machine next to her to clean out her mouth so she won't choke. This is such a roller coaster ride. She only has a few more days left of the meds she's on. She's finished the med that prevents swelling. And just a few more days of the anti-seizure meds and antibiotics... If she could just hold out a few more days she won't have to deal with being over medicated anymore. It's a 'no win, no win' - I can't say take away the meds b/c it's to prevent the possibility of something worse, but at the same time she's so overly medicated she can't open her eyes - she tries - but she just can't do it... I'm visiting this AM - before work... With Haagen-Daz... Poor Mom... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
