Confused pic line and g tube

prior to hospice we were still fighting cancer, home nursr said pic line dressing needs changing weekly. now in hospice they say it can go indefinitely. anyone have experience with that? after 3 wks with same dressing it started to come off. they changed it then. are we being abused? it aeems like it.

sil came to help out and she is also a physical therapist, she demonstrated how to use a belt to help s.mom on commode. i was horrified it seemed so risky with g tube. also sil is on strong pain meds and drinks both openly and extra she conceals. she is threatening to help again and i wanna scream. later i asked hospice nurse, he said belt is not to be abused in that fashion. how do i get sil under control? she is pushy and does not respond to reason.
