Recently mom had a UTI and during that time was afraid to sleep alone as she thought someone was tyring to kill her. We got the infection cleared up, however, a month later she is still afraid to sleep by herself. At bedtime when we go to our seperate rooms within an hour or so she is coming to get me as she is scared. We have tried leaving lights on, doors open between the rooms and I have even tried lying down with her until she is asleep and then going back to my bed. But she wakes up frightened and I end up back in her bed. She is sleeping fine as is the dog, however, I am not and I have to get up at 4:30a.m. for work and am gone until 5:00 p.m. everyday. Does anyone have any suggestions?
I do remember a few awful nights when she had a UTI, sad and scary. The doctor prescribed Macrodantin, which is a daily anti biotic specifically to prevent UTIs. It worked for a long time, and what a difference.
All the best as you care for your Mom.
