We had morphine as well. You can only try to reach the pain, even tho you don’t know from where it is coming. We doubled it immediately.
I so wish we could have gotten hospice weeks before she passed, but you need a doctor to refer you, and they wanted to see her. Not happening.
You have a wonderful hospice option and a visiting nurse is invaluable. Suzye, for us, was a saint with her experience.
In the last couple weeks my Mom would sleep for three days and wake up saying she was hungry.
I’m glad Dulcie has her DNR in place. As hard as it is to let go, I think she is letting you know she is ready. And she knows you are there and that she is loved.
Minute-to-minute....prayers of peace for all of you. ((HUGS))
Thank you for your reassurances and for being able to let me know what’s happening. You were so lucky to have Suzye. She was able to help ease your anxiety like you are helping me. (((hugs)))
She has begun gurgling, and though we have atrophine for the end rattles, the nurse said as long as she is clearing her throat, she’s not ready for that. I can’t tell, but hubby says she is still clearing her throat.
Minute by minute indeed. And each minute seems like and hour.
