Mom has progressive dementia and has declined so fast in the last 4 months. She is up and down all night long. I have to climb stairs because our bedroom is on the second floor. I went up and down those dang stairs last night 10 times. I am totally exhausted. Does anyone have any other method to keep her from waking up and walking at night. She has fallen 6 times in the 4 months she has been here. I am so afraid she will fall and break something. I don't know how she hasn't injured herself already. And to tell you the truth she is wearing me out. help?
My suggestion it to put her in a nursing home. I know it doesn't feel right to do that but ask yourself this question: would you want your children to take care of you if you ever got like your mom knowing what it would do to their lives? I don't think any loving parent would want to do that to their kids. Just my opinion. I'm praying for you and your mother.
