She's in a vicious cycle. She's had accidents and peed on herself (while wearing a heavy duty brief), so she won't drink anything, which is causing dehydration, which causes extreme confusion, and then she pees all over the floor, toilet seat and herself. She has dementia and Parkinson's, so it's very difficult to reason with her.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Another thing to try is a straw, as in a milk shake or protein drink with ice cream and whipped cream on top.
Aunt would no longer eat soup. I think it had something to do with spooning the liquid to her mouth. I couldn’t get her to drink soup either although she loved hot chocolate and coffee. Watermelon she really likes and also likes to peel the little cutie tangelos and suck the juice. Again a small item and easy to peel was a plus.
Jello cubes with whipped cream was always a hit.
I like the idea shared about foods with high water content. I have trouble with my mom not drinking enough too. I try to do small things to sneak in more liquid without her noticing, in addition to harping on her to have some more of her water. They just don't care or understand the impact on their health.
Good luck. Do your best but try not to fret too much about it.
Will she eat soup, melon, popsicles, watery foods?
Had she had IV rehydration?
