So sorry to hear this and what you guys are going through. I really hope she can pull through. If it was my mother, I'd be doing the same thing and not giving up.Sorry to be MIA, guys! Thank you for checking on me. I’ve been in the hospital ICU daily for 5 weeks. My mom has pneumonia in both lungs, one lung collapsed, she has a softball sized tumor in one lung and doctors can’t figure out what it is but it tested negative for cancer. Her kidneys failed. Lots of issues. Her flapper valve in her throat can’t get food or water down without it going into her lungs. She pulled her gastrointestinal feeding tube out Friday night when I was with her. I dozed off and she yanked it out. Doctors tried everything and gave up so we brought her home two days ago on hospice but this morning I got her to swallow a bunch of ice chips so I’m going to see if she can get tiny, tiny bits of baby food down the right pipe. I gave her morphine yesterday because she was having a coughing fit and was in pain. The morphine stoped the coughing and she slept all day. But today I don’t want to give her drugs so she is alert enough to try swallowing baby food. I’m not giving up. She’s been through hell but I don’t feel right about cutting her off food and water and just doping her on morphine to die. Maybe God will give us a miracle.
You'll be in my thoughts and prayers. Stay strong.
