My grandma is suffering from Alzheimer's for past years. Recently, she was shouting more and wanted to leave house, but her legs are not good and the doctor doesn't let her move a lot. We took her outside and she wanted to sit in the middle of the road. We asked the doctor and the doctor prescribed some pills to calm her. After the pills, she was calm and was not shouting, but her situation developed worse. Now she is in her last days, doesn't drink water, can't move and doesn't know what happens around her. I think maybe because of the pills her situation sped up. I even saw in my dream that pills make Alzheimer's worse and I was crying that we killed her. What should I do? We just tried to ease her pain. Now she is dying and everybody at home feel terrible.
Sleeping a lot, my Husband in the last year of his life was sleeping about 20 to 23 hours a day, is common. The very fact that her heart is beating, her lungs are working and other bodily functions are working takes a lot of energy. So she sleeps more.
Keep her comfortable. Let her know you love her. Thank her for all she has given you. She will always be with you in heart and soul.
You did nothing to speed up the decline she is experiencing.
I wish you and her peace.
