As with many Alzheimer’s patients, it was the family who suggested my mother get her memory tested. I pleaded with the nurses to give her something to sleep better at night.The blisters didn’t heal, and then an old bruise on her leg opened up and started bleeding and crusting over. My father in-law passed away from Alzheimer, and now my mother in-law is in stage 6. I too have cried a million tears over my dad’s dementia and when he died it was like someone took my beating heart out of my chest. My mom found cannabis oil very helpful as well as coconut milk based protein shakes.This was an amazing article, albeit heart wrenching. Life is a blessing and I know now more than ever how it must be cherished. The nurses said she had become a slow eater. She is in terrible pain in her leg and when they hoist her up she cries out as it hurts her. My mother was a strong woman did everything in the house. I began to notice he would get strangled when given liquids, so thickening was added. He is still mostly in denial, yet refuses my help. You are all so brave for sharing. We were extremely close and my life will never be the same. She was awake, tapping away to that incessant rhythm in her head, sometimes responding, mostly staring away vacantly.
I wish I had known all the steps also. She would breathe like a marathon runner being frightened for her life and trying to get away. After that, her memory and cognitive faculties deteriorated sharply.This is not the story of an Alzheimer’s patient swinging between the ignorance of their forgetfulness and the panic of watching their own ongoing decline come into focus, nor the story of the fear, the bouts of irritability, and the deep sorrow felt by family members watching their loved one slowly disappear before their eyes. I am a registered nurse and nothing I have experienced would have prepared me for this journeyThank you for sharing. Of course, there is some resentment on my part since she has not been around.
Content reviewed: May 18, 2017 I believe that god takes every happy angel to the heaven n she will be one of the angel. I read countless articles and nothing prepared me for the final months of her life. Being an Eagle Scout, when grandson told him about his week at Boy Scout camp he raised a fist to say “Wonderful” and we knew. Reading your article, I am hoping that he won’t have to suffer too much longer as he is clearly having difficulty in swallowing.
She’s in stage 6 now. I thought, I could just remind my mom whom I was, (and maybe who she was: an accountant, a golfer, a wife, a mom, a friend, etc.) Thank you.This was so enlightening to me. She may have been in the grips of the last stages, but by gosh, she wasn’t going to lose what shred of dignity she still had by drinking from a plastic pink sippy cup!One day she just stopped eating and drinking completely.
in fact the only thing he was doing by himself was breathing.it has been so hard watching him deteriorate . She still has her kind & comical personality and we’re so grateful for that. Sam gonzalez.I am doing some research for school and I wanted to know if you could tell me how your mother got Alzheimer’s disease.
I’m still trying to come to terms with what has happened. Yet, despite all that is lost of him, he still says ‘thank you’ and kisses the back of his female family ‘s hands. All of his systems shut down very rapidly and he was given morphine. It’s such a cruel and heart wrenching disease and watching her go through this is devastating. In 1992 my Dad died at home much the same way.
May you heal soon and know that you will spend eternity with your Mom.my mom is still trying to drink her water and does so successfully( and responds to me) only when the other siblings are not around. She was so hungry and thirsty my heart melted. I used to encourage families to bring in photo albums of pictures when their Children , Brothers & Sisters etc… were young and they would often remember the good times and share stories that may or may not have been shared in the past.
You are going to be all right.Danny, how is your Mom? I am sitting at my desk at work, in an office that I share with another.
He is my hero, don’t know what to do?? Take care of yourself and your family without guilt.Lisa, I cannot imagine how you cared for your mother, worked and attended to a young child alone.
It would be valuable information for them should I also end up with Alzheimer’s. Her second husband is divorcing her.
They told us she only had 3 weeks or less she wont get better and no more medication would be given. She was a beautiful soul. The sudden changes, the rapid decline and not knowing what was next was the most difficult part. So we placed her in a more secure facility, but eventually her bathroom habits deteriorated, and we were forced to move her again. My husband has alzeimers and thus helped me a lot to acceptFrank, I too am an Alzheimer’s sufferer.
My heart breaks every day as I watch her look expressionless, unresponsive, and vacant.Hello. We moved closer to our home state in part to be nearer to her. His lungs finally gave out one night and he drew his last breath. In late 2016, we moved her into a long term care home, and she never really recovered her mental faculties.
My sister and I had picked out one of Mom’s favourite blouses for this occasion, and I put Mom in it with a pretty shell underneath and a decorative necklace. I saw her get a sizure it was so scary she fell back and her eyes went all the way upwards and grinded her teeth. Such a cruel disease, we loose them twice. founded it, I doubt we’ll get serious in the nxt 30 yrs…..I find it so very upsetting that this disease robs a person of everything, dignity, feelings, speech, swallowing and the list goes on and on.
I know that it will educate and offer peace to so many others that have the opportunity to read it. Thank you, Val. Perhaps by the time the 1964 babies enter their 80’s we might get serious about this disease, but if we haven’t since 1906 when a dead German, named Mr. Alzheimer. My grandparents lived to be in their early 80’s and had no sign of memory loss or any other dementia/alzheimer symptoms. I think we are always looking for answers and ways to cope.
