She went from a feisty, highly motivated super woman to a totally dead to the world, unable to do anything (speak, stand, sit, respond in any way, etc) bit of still living flesh that she remains today. Why and how she still lives is a mystery.
The last 10 years have been hard on us all, especially my Father.

Remember that this is a very scary time for her, but she needs you more than ever. You need to be the one to make the best choices for her. She cannot.

Good luck and let me know if I can help.

Is she in France with you? I wonder how the French medical system accommodates Alzheimer's patients.
