RIP Mum (Mrs Oakiecokie aged 96)

Our dear Mum (aged 96) passed away this morning after 5 nights in hospital and we were amazed that she lasted this long as we had been informed that it would just be a matter of hours initially.
She had been in a Nursing Home for 9 months having Dementia but her latest setback was no oxygen was circulating into her blood system and even at the maximum dosage the medication wasn`t working.
At least she didn`t suffer any pain and was on high doses of morphine to stop her getting agitated.
She was a star alright and very often she reminded us of Nana from The Royle Family.
RIP Mum and catch up with Dad at long last.

That post is a mirror situation as regards to my Dad. He is also 96 (97 in December) and he has been in a care home since last August
He was in hospital for a couple of nights recently, but has made yet another recovery and is back in the home again.
He also has dementia and although he has periods of lucidity,other times he just talks a load of gibberish.
He has reverted to a child like persona and it's sad to see a once great musician reduced to his current state by dementia.

Yes dementia is a horrible thing and as you say your Dads condition does mirror my Mums quite a lot.
Thanks.
 
Sorry for your loss but she sounded a character, lived a fantastically long life and will be remembered for all the good times you all had as a family.
