She actually is doing better… After taking her to the neurologist, and after getting her back on her lifetime needed thyroid meds that she had not been taking and after getting her UTI cleared up she is starting to do better with her memory. She has a ways to go, but we will be going back to the Neurologist at the beginning of May and see how she’s doing compared to her first visit. The Neurologist felt that most likely from her not taking her thyroid medication and just getting healed up from the UTI that possibly this is a mimic dementia. If she is still having memory issues, but is doing better he will give her something to tweak her memory and help clear up the brain fog; and if this is dementia the prescribed memory med will slow down the process. Home Health Care has been a blessing and hopefully they will recertify her next week and if not, then I will be getting hospice care requested for three times a week until she is able to take care of herself better. And yes, I have had to ambulance a few times and it is very nerve-wrecking… If I had not called an ambulance twice now, she may not be here today.
