hi everyone,
My mother in law has been in a NH for approx 2 years she has dementia. The last 6 months the family have been called to see her a few times as they thought she was dying but she managed to pull through.
Last week we were all called again and the decision was made to withdraw food and water and just give mouth care. Any water that she was taking in was just coming straight out the other end.
She isn’t in any pain but she is unable to communicate and spends most of the time sleeping.
I am living in limbo wondering when we will receive the call (if we aren’t already there)
How long can this go on for?
