Heads up on hospital visits. We didn't know it but Mom's problems started when she developed a small sore on her bottom after hip surgery. That sore was unattended in the nursing home and it quickly progressed to Stage 4...the worse...in four months. Make sure someone in the family checks the back side of your F-I-L with the nurse. Any open wound on the bottom can get bad real fast. We were more worried about Mom's nutrition and just assumed everyone was taking care of the wound. WRONG. Donna, please heed my waring.
Hospitals HAVE to do what the family requests...especially when the family member who has Power of Attorney makes demands.
Since you've been visiting him since Easter, I can only assume this is a very serious situation. My heart goes out to you. Feel free to contact me by e-mail. I understand.
