Yesterday for about an hour my mom was totally different. She agreed to a shower, ATE AT THE TABLE, and tried to work a puzzle-something she’s never done! It was all so odd. She soon reverted back but it was really weird. This is a first for us. Has this happened to anyone? Still barely eating anything.

You than God for days like this and pray that you get one once in a while.
I always said one of my "bad days" this week will look like a "good day" in 6 months.
The mind is a fascinating thing, when I was caring for my Husband I would have loved to have been able to read his mind, or know what it felt like to be in his position but when I think about it it probably would have scared the crap out of me.
Enjoy the odd days...then again odd just means different from the expected or strange and if that is the case isn't almost every day at some point "odd" something always seemed to happen that would either bring me to laughter or to tears.
When I was caring for my Husband two songs came out that told my story. Listen to it with the thought in your mind of caring for someone with Alzheimer's (or any dementia) ..
Listen to John Legend's All of Me. Then listen to Meghan Trainor's Like I'm Gonna Lose You.
Get out the tissues!

I do not see much in your profile about how long mom has been sick, where she is in her disease or what other medical conditions she may have. It may be an end of life rally? Those with the disease will fluctuate from day to day, but this does sounds kind of extreme.
