re: My Mom has been getting worse with her dementia

My grandmother went through this. Her neighbors called us one night at 3am. She was sitting on the front porch, dressed for the day, saying she was waiting for her friend to pick her up. The friend died 20 years prior.
She would also see squirrels flying around in her bedroom. There were no squirrels.
The worse was she wouldn't eat as much. We realized she had forgotten how to swallow.

Dementia is a bitch.
