GRACE hope things are going well for you and your Mom. My name is LYNN I
just put my Grandmother in the NH she is 90 she had lived with us for
about 2 1/2 years but she needs more care then we could give now she has
only been there 10 days so I'm on the other side now of adjusting
without her being here.
I don't know much about the nutrition part , when my
Grandmother wouldn't eat much we did ensure drinks and I put them in the
blender with ice cream and raw eggs (for protein) she loved them but she
didn't know about the eggs. Have you tried a humidifier in her room to
see if that helps with the coughing, to hot and to cold can and does
affect coughing. There are some good children cough syrups you might
try. For sleep you might try a natural melotonie tablet see if that
helps and elavate the head of her bed you can use bricks or roll a
blanket and put under the mattress. Not sure any will help but it's
worth a try I wish you lots of luck and prayers .GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR
FAMILY LYNN
