Guest guest Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Hi All, Just got from back the NH. My mom is doing very poorly right now. She has pretty much stopped eating, has had one fever after the next, one UTI after the other and possibly has pneumonia now. I very much got the sense that we are coming to the end but I can’t say for sure because mom has bounced back before. Its going to be very hard to lose her but she has been suffering for years now. I hate LBD with a passion. Courage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We hate watching our loved ones suffer, yet we don't want to lose them..... I hate LBD too.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Dear Courage, Your mother seemed to be into the final stages when I joined here years ago. I can't believe how long she has fought this beast, have thought of her often through the years. Caring for her has been so ingrained in you it will be very difficult to let go. You and she may well deserve the award for longest suffering from LBD. I'm very sorry for what you and she continue to go through but you well know that once she has won the final battle she will be at peace and comfortable. I send you strength as you have to so many of us here and accolades for a loving job well done on her behalf. > > Hi All, > Just got from back the NH. My mom is doing very poorly right now.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Oh Courage, I am so sorry to hear this. You mother has been a real trooper. I have so many memories of your stories through the years. She is sounding like my Jim at the end, but I hope your mother bounces back. It is always so hard to tell, because they do have a way of bouncing back. Jim also had a UTI and Pneumonia at the end. What did him in, was he had a health directive that he did not want any life saving help, so when he could no longer take medication orally, they could not give him an IV for antibiotics and the UTI and the Pneumonia took over his body. He also stopped eating, but I believe because he felt so horrible. My prayers and thoughts are with you through this difficult time. Hugs, Jan ________________________________ To: LBDcaregivers Sent: Thursday, February 9, 2012 5:19 PM Subject: Mom is doing very poorly.

I wish you much comfort and peace that comes with knowing you have seen that your dear mother has had the best quality life as possible and what more can any if us hope for with this terrible disease? I'm so sorry you and your family have had to go down this road. I hate LBD as well.
