my father in law is in the hospital with pnumonia. He is 91. He is not responding to the antibiotics and they suggested today for us to consider hospice.... My husband is still in a bit of denial. He is wanting to put in a feeding tube to see if that will help "rally" him back. I guess i'm asking for wisdom for my husband more than anything.... just that he'll be able to make the right decisions concerning his dads care. thank you so much in advanced
Vicky

All I can say is - was good to have them, if needed. They are really wonderful to work with and "by no means" does it mean your parent is ready to die just because Hospice is involved. Hope this will be of some help. (Ger) |

Hospice would be very good for your FIL. It would give him time and help him make decisions about his own health. I hope you call them today.

Thank you to everybody..... We talked to the dr this morning and we are going to send him back to where he lives with hospice care. no feeding tube. The reality of it all is that a feeding tube would not do anything to get his mental state back. He is mostly nonresponsive. The goal is to keep him comfortable. Its been a hard decision especially for Rick. He said he feels like he just signed his dads death warrant. I totally support his decision and so does his brother in Oregon. Thanks so much for your continued prayers... Its going to be hard watching my father in law continue to decline. {{{{HUGS}}}}
