****UPDATE

Please pray for my family, especially my dad it’s going to hardest on him. He might not have been the type husband to show empathy and love daily but he’s sure been there the past two years. He rarely missed a day visiting her.

My family meet with Palliative care (end of life)today.

• when she leaves hospital going to nurse home
• should be discharged in few days or less (after getting coordinated with hospice / nursing home
• no feeding tube
• DNR on file (she explained it very well for dad to understand)
• won’t go to hospital if agitated or other symptoms
• hospice will give medication as needed, pain or comfort
• she explained the body knows it’s dying and that’s why people start eating less, less functioning and more sleep. This was a big help in understanding what’s going on.
• There’s no way to know if it will be days, weeks or months before she dies.

Hello frens 🐸 I’m lurking when I get the chance. I’m mentally and physically exhausted. Mom still in hospital and she’s had mental decline very quickly in the past month. I don’t think they know why or a clear diagnosis. She’s 79 and has lived a great life. Had ups and downs like we all do. She’s traveled the world and country. This week we talk to the palliative care team (fancy word for end of life care). They aren’t saying she’s at end of life but we need decide those decisions ahead of time. It’s no secret we haven’t had a great relationship during my life. It’s very hard seeing her like this. One day she doesn’t talk or eat the next day she eats everything she can and talks your ear off. I’m the type person that stays strong in crisis and cries when it’s over. I’m trying to be supportive for my dad. There’s not much more I can do for her. I’m not worried about her salvation. She accepted Christ a long time ago and was actively going to church and bible reading until the past 10-15 years ago. After the doctors described different types of mental decline, dementia and psychological disorders I see now something was going on at least ten years ago. Have a good week and thanks for listening.
