Hello gang,
I just have a question to pose to try and help my Mom(73yrs). She is having trouble sleeping mainly because she can't move/roll in the bed. She is very unconmfortable, sore etc and by morning, totally exhausted. This is becoming so frustrating to her and her spirits are really falling. She seems to be fading fast as far as her mobility goes. Left arm and hand gone, right arm/hand only at about 20% and now it's moving to her legs and feet. So far breathing ok and speech just a little slurred. Dad is main caregiver and he's exhausted as well...his health not so great either. We are currently making arrangements through hospice to get help in the home or possibly place Mom in a group home but I was hoping to get some tips on getting her more rest and making her more comfortable. Hang in there everyone and thank you so much for all the wonderful information and support I've received from ya'll and this forum. God Bless and take care.
