So mom has taken to making weird noises. Think the high "pitch level" of the Whoop-Whoop-Whoop Three Stooges call. Ooooo-Ooooo-Oooo-Oooo-Chicken-Chicken-Chicken-Kitty-Kitty-Kitty-Kitty-Lululululululululu....
Anybody? She said someone was sitting in the wheelchair across from her -- some man she couldn't describe, so there's some hallucinating going on (first time). She's alert when spoken to. We've got her in our front bedroom now because she doesn't want to get out of bed . . . the transfer is too uncomfortable for her.
It's a lovely room, all set up for her. But I feel bad she's there all alone. She's eating sparsely, drinking okay. Hospice is coming tomorrow to evaluate her. Some of you may remember that she's completely off all of her diuretic medicine...no fluid retention. She's been on strong diuretics for years. She's not dehydrated. With oxygen, she's at 98. Top number of BP high.
Anyone know what's going on or experienced this sing-song?

When my father had end stage delirium, he would talk to people that weren't there, make strange noises and try to "catch things" in the air. He would say, "Hey, Frankie's with the angels now!" (And old family friend.) We actually found out he had passed on a week before - and my dad didn't even know.
The usual signs, is if they are picking at their bed sheets, trying to remove clothing and talking gibberish, singing or making strange noises.
I'm very spiritual, so to me, these are all signs that the veil is very thin for them and they are actually seeing things we cannot.
I will say that my father also got this right when he developed sepsis infections too. And when he was better from it, the strangeness went away.
Hoping all goes well….

Very strange. But she sure is a happy camper, I'll tell ya' that. God, I'm blessed.
