This past week, my Mom has started to become more tired.
She has plateaued over the last 3-4 months and then just like a light switch... she has started to become more and more tired.
An example: I usually go to her house at 9:30 a.m. for her first tube feeding. She is ALWAYS awake and in her living room watching Regis and Kelly... but this past week, she was still asleep in bed when I came over.
Another example: I try and get her out of the house at least once a week. She can not use her arms but her legs are still strong. She usually LOVES these outings, even though she only has the strength to walk around for about 30 minutes. This week, she just wanted to stay in the car... she said she was too tired to get out of the car. She loved buying her weekly powerball ticket... and this time... she sent me inside to buy it for her.
I am thinking we are seeing another decline... and then hopefully another plateau... but I have no idea how long or far this current decline will last.
Has anyone else experienced something similar... if so... what was the outcome?
Thanks.
