@becsbuddy i would truly consider a full time facility but my father is very much against it. He said after 4 weeks that this is working well. I honestly do not believe we are far from her going. she has declined in the past 2 weeks but is still eating and drinking. I am doing everything I possibly can. She cannot leave her bed at this point. He has accepted her going but honestly he wants her to go fast. So hard for him to just watch her die a slow confusing death. I am so grateful to have found this support group. It has really opened my eyes to the disease and how this impacts so many people.

@buggirl55, this must be so hard for everyone. Clearly you cannot last on 2 hours sleep and caring for 2 households of people and pets while working fulltime.

You mention a caregiver. Do you have a caregiver who comes in to help with medical care? Do you find that your father's behavior upsets or confuses your mom?
