You poor dear. I can only imagine how hard this is for you and hubby. My friend, a registered nurse and wound specialist, had to finally put her MIL in a home. She told me hospice will come in And just make sure she is bathed and otherwise taken care of. She explained to her hubby and his brothers that it’s not that someone doesn’t have long that is the criteria, but that they are not expected to get better to take care of themselves.
Thank you so much for your prayers. Monday his doctor called me and said he had talked with a Nurse Navigator and she told him the only recourse I had was to take him to the hospital and say I can’t take care of him anymore then they would put him in a home. Either that Hospice would come into the home and bath him, but they are not going to be in the home 24/7. My husband’s mind is sharp and he doesn’t want to go into a home or have Hospice come in as he knows they won’t see that he gets transfusions or if gets aspiration pneumonia will NOT give antibiotics, etc. I don’t want that either. I pray if the time comes it will be he just doesn’t wake up.
