Sorry to hear that Tony. He needs to be in hospice but if he's not ready mentally that's tough. I have no idea what to say about how you should handle this. All the best.
Mom passed last night. We flew back down on Tuesday. Saw her Wednesday in ICU, she looked awful. Dr said we had to make a choice. They could put a tube in for feeding, maybe try to build up some strength or take the IV out. She couldn't remain on the IV much longer, it has bad side affects after awhile. We decided to move her into hospice. The Dr wouldn't say it before we decided but told us we made the right decision for her. They moved her Wednesday night and made her comfortable, no more tubes, IVs and needles poking her. She slept most of Thursday and Friday, only opening her eyes for a few seconds at a time. She looked very comfortable and at peace for the short time she was there.
They called a few minutes after 10 last night and said she had passed. We went and said goodby. So mom's not miserable and in pain any longer and we're glad for that.
Thanks for your thoughts and prayers.
