Hi Everyone,
Well doctor phoned me yesterday and told me she is contacting district nurses, getting everything in place and told me my Auntie has weeks to live. She told me to contact family and let them know.
I was in middle of tesco and my heart broke, she had only been called out because care home said my aunt had diarrhoea through the night and her breathing was shallow and she wasn't her normal self.
I know she has lost so much weight and looks so frail, but how do they know???? I went to see her straight away
the past week she has been very sleepy but is still eating and drinking, literally gulping drinks down in one go through straw. Her face looked so pinched and she was drifting in and out of sleep but staring at me, her eyes look so sad and I told her how much everyone loves her and how special she is. Carers said to me it's such a shock and how much they are going to miss her, but again how do they know her time is here. I am broken and don't know what to do. I feel that I should be doing something but what can I do????? Can they be wrong??? Any advice please.
