Day 4 with no food and no water. Hospice started giving her oral morphine and Ativan. She is breathing very irregular. Her pulse of is 78. Basically been in a coma for the full time. Wonder if this can go on for weeks or if it will be days? Worried... as I hate seeing my mom like this.
advice? Thoughts?
Hang in there. Our thoughts are with you Army Aunt.
Keep talking to her. Hospice said that even when they are unresponsive, they can still hear, so I sang to him, and read Bible verses, prayed aloud for him, and used a baby brush to brush his hair. Tell your mother that you will be OK. Remember to take care of yourself by remembering to eat and drink and breathe deeply and evenly. My prayers are with you during this vigil.
Sending you a big hug and a prayer for a quick and peaceful, pain free transition for your dear mom.
