Mum: Not long to go now

[alfjess]

Hi
I also hope your Mum hasn't got long to suffer.

I sat with my Mum for 6 days, when she was like this and I was praying for her to be released from her misery.

6 days, in this situation, seems a very long time.

I think I know how you are feeling.

Take Care

Hello,

Just to let you know my thoughts are with you and your Dad at this sad time.

Hi Ian,

I feel ill reading your post to see so many similarities between your mother's case and my father's, both diagnosed at age 54. I also thought the end was near when Dad had a huge fit that hospitalised him.

I am however feeling ill because before reading your post I just posted my own thread about Dad surviving a situation very much like your Mum's. I am so sorry that it appears that your Mum is unlikely to be as fortunate as my Dad was.

I have been lucky in that we were given extra time, a chance to appreciate Dad, a chance to rescue him from ill health and infections, and pain. I haven't forgotten however, how I felt when I thought we weren't going to get that opportunity so my deepest apologies to you if my post made things seem even so much more unfair and as you have no doubt gone through a lot of similar experiences to what I have, if you ever need someone to talk to who can understand, please feel free to pm me.

Best wishes to you and your family in these very hard times.

Hi JC,

I saw your post and also saw the similarities, but I forgot to add in my first post that my Mum was taken off the Aricept, Ebixa and Aripiprazole when she was first put in the Ward in the first hospital in July. So her decline has been rapid probably due to that. As I said before she is on NBM and off the Saline, as well as not being able to swallow and gone blind in the past few days, she won't be around for long. After all the suffering we have all seen and experienced over the past 9 years, she will be at peace soon enough.

Dear Ian,

I hope your mum is past her suffering soon. My mum managed 3 days and 6 hours after being taken off the saline drip, longer than we expected given her dreadful condition.

It is heartbreaking. We long for them to stay alive and long for them to be die and be at peace.

Keep strong

Vonny xx

Dear Ian,

Vonney sums these situations up so well with her words:

We long for them to stay alive and long for them to be die and be at peace.

My thoughts are with you and the family at this time.

Hi Guys,

Just been in to the hospital to see my Mum her hands and parts of her face are starting to turn blue. which probably means her circulation is failing but can it mean anything else?

Hi Ian, it does seem that the end is approaching fast now. My mum didn't turn blue but went almost white. Sending you strength for the inevitable.

Ian..it does sound as though circulation is failing..mum's heart isn't working too well.

I hope she remains peaceful and wish you the strength to see this through.

Love xx

I hope that your mum is kept comfortable.

Caring Thoughts,

 

[Iainwh]

After the amount of diamorphine she's been on for the past week I would think that's she's "comfortable"

Thanks for your help guys. going to see her again in about an hour.
