Sundowning???



my LO has been on the phone all day now until late at night talking to his buddies from years ago 🤔He has never done this before. It’s almost 9 PM and he’s still talking, I’m confused!

I'd check to make sure he's actually on a call. We thought my DH was doing the same before he went to MC, and it turned out (after discreet observation) that he was just talking "at" the phone. One of the things that told us it was time for MC.

I was wondering the same thing. My husband lost the ability to initiate a phone call early on, but he would sometimes play with the phone and push on the numbers.

My DH would talk to his Marine Corps Vietnam buddies if I would call them. It was just him talking and them listening. No real conversation. He was late Stage 5 then. Later he stopped talking on the phone at all.
