re: My Mom has been getting worse with her dementia

Sounds very similar to what my mother has gone through recently. She was in the hospital last week to get a transfusion due to anemia, following sepsis caused by a UTI about six weeks ago. I wonder if sepsis can cause anemia.

UTIs can be so dreadful. One morning, my Mom stepped out of bed and went to the floor. Took her to the hospital by ambulance. She had back issues, so we thought that was the issue. Turned out to be a UTI. She never fully regained her mobility strength that she previously had and we've had live in sitters every since. We do everything possible to avoid UTIs having been warned by the doctor of the many conditions they can cause.
