Just last Sunday she was up all day no naps - Usually gets up 1 to 3 times each night for the bathroom. Last night she slept 15 hours straight and I had to make her wake up to get to bathroom and cleaned up - then after 2 bites of breakfast right back to sleep. This is a drastic change and I am trying to get some knowledge on this.
It could be the end but could be her meds need adjustment. Is she on Hospice?
I am going through a similar situation but have lots of material and have been informed of what to expect. Yes, sleeping is a sign as the body gets ready for the dying process. but make sure anything else can be ruled out such as UTI, infection, depression and so on
A friend of mine is a Hospice nurse and has told me to just let them sleep at this point- that their body needs the sleep-
I'm no expert but in a very similar situation and trying to get all the info I can get my hands on as well.
Are you checking blood pressure at all? the lowered bp is a sign.
