Yes, your mom may improve to a point that she may be discharged from hospice. Time will tell. It is a helpless feeling, isn't it?
Both my parents rallied while on Hospice. Mom started eating again for a couple of days, but then she stopped, went back into her coma state. She was in last stage dementia caused by a serious fall.
My Dad wanted to get out of bed, eat, watch TV, and was talking to everyone. That last about 2 or 3 days, then he went back into his coma-like state. Dad had in early dementia but he also had aspiration pneumonia.
Both my parents were in their mid to late 90's.
