For the past little while I have noticed a change in my mom, BB. She often gets confused and mixed up about the little things in life, never mind the bigger things. She's depressed and getting quite withdrawn, preferring to live in her own little world.
Then I noticed her prescription for her thyroid pills hadn't been filled and I thought they should have. She has been on thyroid rx since I was young. No other meds, just thyroid. So I asked her about them. And the answer I got wasn't very positive so I took things in my own hands and got her prescription filled.
That was Wednesday. Yesterday as we were just heading out the door for breakfast I got a panicky phone call from the lady who picks my mom up for church. She was at my mom's door and the neighbour let her in when she didn't respond to the loud pounding on the door. Only to find my mom laying in bed not wanting to wake up. So not like BB, who has always been a morning person.
After awhile we were able to get her up and moving around. I gave her a nice hot shower and washed her hair and put her back into some clean night clothes. Chris changed the sheets on her bed and we made her some dinner.
So confused, so mixed up, doesn't know where she is sometimes. And it's just so hard seeing her like this, knowing this is the end of her life.
Love you BB.
