My mum is now at end of life care after returning to nursing home from hospital last Thursday with aspiration pneumonia. All antibiotics, oxygen and medications have now been stopped and doctor told nursing staff just to make Mum comfortable, which she is currently. My question is she was rushed in to hospital 4 days ago and doctors told me she would not survive the night. She has no fluids or food since then ref: risk of choking but cannot believe she is still with us 4 days on and is still looking quite alert at times.
How long can you survive without fluids or food, its heart breaking to go through this and would really appreciate some feedback x
