Guest guest Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Hi, Carol, My dad had this kind of decline. We really didn't know he was ill, and then it seemed all of a sudden, he couldn't find the bathroom. I new he wasn't quite right up to then, but I really thought it was his eye sight. He had a long history of bad eye sight long before we knew anything about LBD. He would have times when he was better than others on finding the bathroom. The right medication can really help with these kinds of things - at least, for a while. I am so sorry that you and Millie are having to deal with all of this. You will be in my thoughts. Hugs, Piper **************Start the year off right.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Carol, My Mother went from fully function to non-functional almost overnight. We had known she was having some problems, but not sure what was wrong. We ended up putting her in a nh after two months. So, yes a decline can happen rapidly, but Exelon helped a lot and so did Namenda.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Carol, Im so so sorry.Could it possibly be a uti?When mom has gotten worse in the past it usually happens virtually overnight.She never seems to fade slowly but just a sudden nosedive.I hope that things improve for Millie.I am keeping you both in my thoughts.My heartfelt best wishes to you both.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Could be a UTI? Yes, but when you have a sudden decline, you just don't think about UTI. You're right! Might be worth having this checked out. I never remember to think about the simple.
