I just want to say that I appreciate all the responses that I have received on previous posts. This is such a wonderful site!
My 83 year old mom who has dementia is being released from a hospital stay of 10 days. She was admitted for pneumonia. She had the same problem in December. The doctor said that the pneumonia was not getting better but she has no fever and her cough is better. She is wheelchair bound.
I've read that pneumonia may reoccur. Anyone out there with any suggestions or advice for me. Not sure what to expect when I take her back home.
Thanks
Moving can include "walking" the wheel chair forward or back with the lower legs, if she can do this, very helpful.
