i will try not to waffle
Mil has been in hospital for 2 weeks and went in with lots wrong pneumonia sepsis high sodium we were taken into a room and it was decided no resuscitation she had tubes everywhere. She has lived in a care home for four years she had bad Alzheimers with mixed dementia when she went in. A year later her husband of 60+ years together joined her he is reg blind with V dementia
She came round quite well and we took fil to see her then she needed rehydration again now they want to discharge her, her care home that have had all their money through the sale of the house are refusing to have her back saying they only have one staff at night and say they are not a nursing home.
Fil gets muddled but he is a quivering wreck and just wants to be with his wife he understands some things but even forgot we have taken him to see her both weeks when all the tubes came out she is not eating or drinking and they are not going to hydrate. If we knew when she was going we could try and get him to see her more
How do we tell him she is dying?
We don’t know how long she has got
Their money runs out in September.
We live a 3 hour round trip away so wherever she ends up we cannot take him every day?..
She is 87 and he is 89
