I can't get her to do anything. My mother was with my sister in N.C for 8 mos. She will be with me now. All she does is sleep day and night. I can't get her to do anything. Is this normal? I am very worried and frustrated. I have trouble also getting her to eat. The Dr. say it is ok to let her sleep but I find it hard to believe as back in Oct she was not doing this. She has deteriorated since she has been with my sister in N.C. I just feel that all this sleep is not normal and there is something else that I could be doing to help her get past it. Please does anyone have suggetions?
In any case, at least with Alzheimer's, it is possible for the person to sleep and sleep and sleep towards the end. It does not sound like that's where she is at all.
I am a senior and I am wearing out. I sleep more and can't go on 10 mile hikes like I did.
Doctor can't find anything wrong....just getting worn out.
In accepting that I am getting old I have become much happier.
