Yesterday started out good for my dad…then during the
afternoon he became agitated again. The new meds that he is on have been
controlling the agitation with ½ dose…but yesterday the 1/2 dose had no affect, and he
had to have an additional ½ dose. He did sleep all night last night…but talked
all through the night in his sleep as well. It sounds like the agitation may be
escalating.
His appetite is swinging back and forth between moderate and none. He has always been a very light eater... (splitting a hamburger/sandwich with someone for lunch etc.), but within a month after diagnosis...his appetite increased tenfold...and a week ago...it dropped to almost nothing. He has always had a huge sweet tooth as well...often making fudge in the middle of a summer afternoon...just because he loves it. But...a month or so ago...he lost his sweet tooth entirely and began to turn down candy, cake, etc. These changes were among the most remarkable initially, with the exception of the confusion and short term memory loss of course.
