I pray for awesome news about Grandma Anon's strength and healing!

I feel for your dad. And you. I'm sorry for forgetting but did you say your dad lives near or with your gran? If your grandma goes through rehab and is then "sent home" be aware that home hospice is available to support the care giver. My fam has this. Palliative (comfort) care. But this can be a very long journey for family caregivers. No tubes, no resuscitation. Meds for pain only. And could go on with someone in a vegetative state for even a year or more. Do you have any Medical power of attorney or document gran signed about her preference re life sustaining procedures if terminal. I have someone who has such and I know if he was in a coma-like state he would not want to be sustained at the hosp. I don't think an unconscious person going longer than a month like that is reasonable if the patient has brain issue, or has cancer, and is being kept alive with tubes and are in a facility. With home hospice you have to really think it through because it is usually morphine for pain or afib, that helps with the passing. Not everyone can deal with that responsibility. I see fam caregivers own health being risked by days and nights of this. Yes I pray. For a miracle healing, or peace and for release, for everyone's sake. But guess what... it is painfully obvious that the answer turns out to be that it is totally up to the spirit of the ill one. My sister has fooled us several times. It's between her and God. So in my case with my sister, I pray now for her caregiver to keep their health and survive this. (Her daughter. They live 3000 miles from me) I would not bring an unconscious person "home" for hospice. Even if you have home hospice help. The remaining care a family member would have to do is extremely debilitating and could go on a long time. People think hospice is only 6 months. I took care of someone in hospice for years when I was doing my 22 years of home health work. And hospice people are not with you round the clock.

Being in quite a similar situation in my family, (my sister is terminal) I am realizing that it is greatly about what it becomes like for the spouse or other fam that has the freaking nightmare of how to care for the one who has a very bad prognosis.
