I know I have not been in here in awhile and feel guilty posting this because of it.
It has been the longest 6 months of my life.
Watching MOM go from beeing full of life and never home to loosing all her dignity and independance. Having to have someone babysit her, loosing her bed and having a hospital bed in living roon. IT about killed her- There were so many times she cried about it to me.
We have been taking turns staying with her so her best friend who is her main caregiver have time to get away to sleep , run errons or just time to her self.
This last week Mom is barely awake and talking to family that has passed away as if in the room only she can see.
There are times she is awake and knowign what is going on and other times she is talking out in left field and we just go with her to keep her calm.
The Hospice Doctors have taken her off all her meds and only gets liquid meds to keep her calm and pain free. She is not able to swollow so only has apple sauce, jello, pudding when she askes for it then we have to make sure she does not asperate. Her tongue is swollen and you can hear the fuid in her lungs as she breaths. Her death will come with her lungs filling with fluid and drowning. I pray God will take her and we all have given her permission to go.
She was able to say good bye to all of us before she got bad this week. It will only be a few days before she passes away.
Could really use prayer and energy to deal with this and for family as there is alot of anger and bad words/family split happening.
HUGSSSSSSSS
