She has hit 2 of them, but hides it from drs. Do we reported it to her doctor but in front of him she is the perfect, sweet, flirty little old lady... it seems like she can control herself when she wants to.. they think we are lying and they put her in the hospital for evaluation and she was sweet as pie...wow, we are about at the end of our rope with her. She has shook, shaken, (don't know how to phrase it but, ) hit and punched my sisters grandson and she threw a bowl and hit my sisters grand daughter, both of which are under 12 years old. She curses them, calling them bitxxx, bastxx and tells them to get the fxxx out of their own rooms....its just awful, and even worse, when the under 2 year old great grand kids visit its a really worrysome time. any ideas how to handle this? also, can your alzheimer sufferer perform for the doctor like ours? that was a joke, but if you can't laugh, you'll go crazy, i am certain of it...
I don't want to open old wounds, but was your mother abusive to you and your sister? Or is this a side effect since she developed Alzheimer's?
back from an inpatient evaluation for placement, but once again, they seen no signs of aggression with her nor any negative behavior. how can they be hellions around family and angels around everyone else? Anyway, she is going to be out of the house, now finding permanent placement for her...thank you for your comments and help gladimhere knowing and relaying there is a legal presidence here, helps make things clearer to everyone
Bye, bye grandma!
