My wife died a year ago yesterday, at home. She had gone into nonresponsive seizures beginning on Christmas day, because of hyperammonia, a result of liver failure, after years of MS and other disorders. The previous seizure occurred on our anniversary, Feb 4, and she was in the hospital for five weeks, ICU, ward, then rehab. When she finally got home, she signed a DNR, and begged us not to let the medicals take her to the hospital again. We could see the seizure coming, and had to watch her die, but it would have happened at some point even if there had been another incident. It was best for her, and I am content with where she is. That is what DNR is intended for, and should not be used to wipe out the “unnecessary population.”
