My mom has Dementia diagnosed 10 years ago. On April 22, 17 took mom to the ER for a stroke. While in ICU on April 23 she had her second stroke.
My dad had his own medical problems main one being CHF. He fell on April 24th and fractured his back. He passed away May 15th.
Mom was in rehab when she got sick and was admitted into the hospital. They told us to say our good byes. I brought mom home on June 1st. In the first 3 months if being home she had rallied twice. In December hospice had to discharge her.
So mom has mixed dementia and strokes.

Hi again, @baney I am sorry to hear of your dad's passing. My dad passed from the same thing.

It also sounds like your mom has had quite a challenging health journey for sure. My wife was in home hospice care for 14+ months and it was a real blessing that she could be home and still receive the care she so desperately needed. Sorry to hear she has been discharged from hospice, but then again that may be a good sign I guess.

I will keep you in my thoughts and hope for the best for you and yours!

Strength, courage, and peace!
