Hi all
I am so pleased I have found this wonderful forum. ππ» here's my story:
this week mum was confirmed as having MND after seeing neurology twice last week and again today. Mum had a small stroke on June 23rd 2021 and has been in hospital since. Since December 2020 my sister and I (she's 36 I'm 39) and gp suspected mum had a form of dementia.( I live 300 miles away from mum and sister) but after her stroke when visiting mum in hospital we noticed that her speech was getting worse, mum's weight is dropping and her hand fuction has got much worse .she can only hold a Tommy tippee cup to drink from as hands do weak. Mum's been moved from the stroke ward to s palliative ward in the hospital and is now getting super care. We have been told to sort a POA. Which I have printed off and can't bare to look at at the moment. My sister asked what mum's prognosis is and we were told approx 12 months. My head is spinning snd I don't know where to start with everything. Mum's 73. Looking back it started about 3 years ago when her speech changed a bit. Any advice or help massively appreciated. Thanks for reading.
