Re: O/T Elderly/Alzheimer's Best Natural Antibiotic?

Hi again lolite,

I didn't notice the part about pureeing food etc until re-reading your post. Yes, I'm worried about her being dehydrated also...and that is why I keep coming back to her to coax her to drink. I'm trying to do protein smoothies ... where I add only about a scoop of protein powder, but then add probiotics, and her liquid vitamin (it tastes good)... this we call her "chocolate milk" in order to get her to drink.

Other times I'll do water alone with her vitamin and tell her I got her some coolaid ... or juice to mix up the terms a bit and possibly entice her to drink...however it just appears that the words drink or sip doesn't mean anything to her...and I've also noticed that she doesn't want to hold the cup...so my best guess is that she is losing "meaning" and again I'm thinking hopefully, that this is temporary due to an infection...as she is still eating with no problem. So I don't think pureeing her food would help.

She is also been showing some signs of being off balance (again a sign of a possible infection)and not wanting to walk and is pulling down on me and wanting to sit down...even on the floor lol when I'm trying to change her clothes etc...so I've got fingers crossed that this will at least bring her back to a place that I can take care of her. As it is...and if this progresses I'll have to end this sooner than I had expected because this downturn is seriously beginning to take a toll on me.

Again thanks for all your help. Tweet
