I don’t post often but I look at these threads every day and my heart just aches for all the pain this horrible disease causes. I wanted opinions on infections and whether to treat them. My husband has been in the hospital for 9 days with aspiration pneumonia and a UTI which are both clearing but he’s not eating very much. He’s fully dependent and spends his days sleeping with his music on. He had a pretty good appetite before these infections. His quality of life is pretty much NIL. He lives in a nursing home about 20 minutes away from me and I visit him 4-5x a week. He’s 65 and was diagnosed with Posterior Cortical Atrophy in 2014. Just a few days ago I told myself that if he ever got another infection, I wouldn't have it treated and that would be the end but somehow that doesn't feel right to me now. My husband always did things on his own terms and it got me thinking that maybe the end for him should be when HE decides. That time would likely come when he stopped eating. Not treating an infection is like murder, for lack of a better term, to me. This is sitting heavy on my shoulders and my mind. I have an obligation to him to "do the right thing" but I don't know what the right thing is. Does this make any sense to you? We’re faced with so many difficult decisions and this one has to be the most difficult of all.
