I need help mom not good, just wrote my question and lost it. Been off and on BP high n low. In hospital May 5 dehydrated was a nightmare. Used VPS hospice developed stage 3 bed sores. Put back on home care but then got UTI using Clare Medical not any better. Please help thank you
Mom probably should get a new cardiologist. Afid will cause BP to go up and down which needs regular meds and check-ups. Can you make mom her favorite food, ice cream, shakes made from Ensure. You can also try chicken broth it may stimulate her to want to drink and eat! Do not water the broth down...the salt and other ingredients should sitmulate her digestive tract making her feel hungry and thirsty. If you can not get her to eat or drink than there is something more going on with her.
Medications can make a person not want to eat or drink. You should talk to her Dr.
Hospice is probably not the answer. Mom needs a home care aid.
I nor anyone on this forum can Dx or Tx your mom. All we can do is give you ideas and share our experiences with you.
Such a hard decision but watching her 24/7 since I live with her is killing me, I give her water, wet her mouth , clean her eyes, this morning she told me stop, but she always said that to me. lol I tell her I love her non stop!! Any advice is appreciated God bless all. TY so much
What did the hospice nurse advise you to do?
How is your mother herself? Doing okay, all things considered, or is she in any way distressed?
I’m sorry your mom isn’t doing well & hope you can find the right help. I know it isn’t easy!
