Dotty is not agitated and is not acting crazy. Occasionally, she might call out mom, mom.

Alzheimer's Reading Room
Good morning, afternoon, evening or night, depending on where you are.
Dotty Dotty is still with us. She seems to be comfortable. However, she is not moving at all. She does have a cough. It is sporadic, and we have some medication for the cough.
Yesterday, she only ate a few teaspoons of chicken broth and a bit of water melon. I continue to get water and Boost into her. She is still peeing quite a bit and the liquid is definitely moving through her.
Her urine was okay late last night. I am getting ready to change her shortly. This has been a real chore. Nevertheless it gets done. I'll update how this goes later today.
Knowing that the day is coming when your loved one -- won't know you-- is the most horrific feeling of them all for an Alzheimer's caregiver. AFR is an Alzheimer's Reading Room companion website.
