Just a quick update on mom.
She got moved to a skilled nursing facility yesterday. ALL I.V.
fluids and FULL DNR is in effect. The only thing they will are
going to give her is something for pain if needed, and some
thing to keep her calm so she doesn't get highly aggitated.
Since she isn't eating or drinking it basically means she will
become severely dehydrated again and starve. But the Dr.
told us that she is in her final stages dementia and nothing
they (the Doctors) or us (the family) can do to now to stop
the course of nature.
Dad was having a real hard time accepting the fact that mom
just wasn't going to get better. So on Wednesday it became a
matter of me taking over as medical decision maker by proxy
for moms final care.
I final told dad that it was all in Gods hands now and we just
have to accept it and let God do his thing.
It seemed to help him accept the truth.
This is so painfully HARD for me, because through out her
WHOLE life she has had the will to live and it all started at
birth for her when her parents was told she would not live
to become a teenager. Plus another MAJOR life threatening
issue.
