Anyone Whose Loved One Is In Stage 8? My Mom Has Had Upper Respiratory Infection Since Christmas.
A myALZteam Member asked a question 💭

4 rounds of antibiotics and it still hasn’t gone away. She has gone from no oxygen to on oxygen, (her oxygen level is 88 on oxygen) and every 4 hours on Oxycodone to every 2 hours. She's constantly moaning. Her jaw is clenched and she cries out in pain if I move her arms, touch her legs and change her pull up. Nurse feels that her body is shutting down and won’t be around in March. Has anyone else experience this?

@A myALZteam Member So sorry for your loss. Your Mom will be at peace now without pain and the affects of strong meds. The Angels will take good care of her. Hugs and Prayers going your way. -Sharon

I’m so sorry for your loss. If she was Christian she is in a better place and you are at peace.

She passed this morning and we had started her on the diapers. Thank you for your help

I’m so sorry..... it’s very difficult to change pull ups in bed. Have you considered changing over to regular diapers? So much easier on you both.
