when she smiles at you and seems to understand you,she probably looks you straight in the eye to,right? that's what makes you think she understands you.she doesn't.taking her off her meds is a choice you and her doctor have to come to an agreement on between the two of you alone.but he's right,at this point,they are not going to help her anymore.i am so sorry hon.taking her off the meds won't shorten her life,people don't really pass from alzhiemers alone,it's complications from it,so she must also have something she suffers from besides that.like COPD or something,you said she was on oxygen before right?she should stay on that for sure.course i'm not the doctor and am only speaking from experience and like i said,it's personal between you and her doctor.i wish you luck sweetie.let me know something,will you please?
Maybe he is right.

If I have Alzheimer's, and anyone tries to extend my life, I will come back and haunt them!
Is it medication to slow the stages? If so, the Doc. might feel as if they aren't nessicary anymore because she is in the final stages.
