I understand the significance of kidney infections with regard to dementia, but she's already in the later stages. Why are we continuing to fight an infection when her quality of life is already so poor, and seemingly non~existent? She sleeps 22 hours a day, eats, pees, and poops. Never smiles, doesn't seem to understand anything anymore. I know it sounds terrible, but why not let the damn kidney infection do its thing and bring her some peace? why keep dumping antibiotics into a system that's probably trying to die on its own? (And boy do i feel guilty about this question!)
