Night Wandering


The night walking has begun. People have told me this can become a problem and now it is happening. Mom sleeps much of the day in front of the TV sitting up. Then at night she wakes up and wanders the house looking for something. At midnight she climbed the stairs in total darkness and went into Larry’s room. He woke up and took her back downstairs to her bed. Then at 4am she was calling me from the bottom of the stairs. She said she lost the baby and thought the baby was under her bed. When I tried to get her back into bed she got down on the floor to look under the bed and saw there was no baby there. Trying to lift a woman with a hip replacement up off the floor is no easy task. But I got her back into bed. But an hour later she is opening doors to the laundry room and garage searching again.
This morning Larry and I decided some door latches up high and an alarm to let us know she is out of her area would be a good idea. We will start working on that today.
