My mom been asleep for over 30 hours, she was getting a little restless because yea.. she can't take her painmeds. So they called in the doc and she's on morphine now. A low dosage repeated every 4 hours. If that's not enough she will get an increased dosage.
This pallitative period can last from minutes to even a couple of weeks, but she already was getting the death mask, so I would be surprised if she would survive the weekend.
Now, survive is not the right word because she's not responsive anymore… See More
to stimuli since about 1pm just before the first dosage of morphine was given. She's already basicly gone.
The nursing staff is very attentive even a male nurse who was there yesterday came to work another shift today on his day off because of my mom.
Her phsycial therapist came on his weekend off, asked him if he does this often.. no, never. But the bond between her and Selmar (the phys therapist) is immense close, he was the one that worked tirelessly with my mom to get her to walk again in 2017-2019.
These are hard times, and I was just done paying off installments of my dad's cremation... now we have to start all over again but everyone we tried to get info wants to get paid up front and yea.. I don't exactly have thousands laying around.
