Today is truly not a good day for me. I have been up, made bread, stuffed peppers, sealed 12 servings of stew, diced the tops of the peppers I stuffed and vacced them for use in the winter read the paper, had coffee and my oatmeal plus all the other usual morning time things. It is 12:23 pm and my husband is not up yet. He was up at 10:30am and wanted to use the bathroom and then wanted to go back to bed. I have a moniter on and I physically check him every 15 minutes or so. He is sleeping extremely soundly. This has been the pattern for the last week or so. At 8:00 or so he is ready for bed for the night. Sometimes he will even take a nap. Should I wake him???? Should I let him sleep??? As usual he is still extremely easy to care for. He is still on Razadyne ER and Namenda. Just don't know what to do. I thank the Good Lord daily that he has remained easy to care for. I am beside myself with the length of sleeping. Usually 12-14 hours was the norm............... Nancy
Nancy-I don't know where you get your energy. Eddie is reaching end stage and using more energy than you can imagine just being awake. So sorry. Your friend, Nora
Definitely go over this with the doctor during the appointment.
Does that doctor have an advice nurse or a staff member who can take questions? Because I think you might want to ask your questions now. Not that I think anything in particular is wrong, because I don't know anything about this symptom. But just because asking and getting an answer might make you feel better.
Sally, I am sorry ... it is so hard isn't it? I am not sure what stage your husband is in.. Lynn is in late stage 6 and since last December he too sleeps most of the time. The only way I can tempt him out of bed is with food, he eats like a horse.. or if I 'bribe" him with a day out and promise to take him to lunch. All his doctors have said it is part of the progression of the disease. I am SOOO sick of hearing that, but it is true. Thinking of you Nikki
