My dad has Vascular dementia and since last one week he got hospitalized.
Current stage :-
1.Feeding thru tube
2.on oxygen
3.he does not recognize any one
4.completely on bed
5. Urine also thru pipe
6.sleep at least 20 hrs
Not sure what else to be expected from him And what would the life expectancy and I don't want him to suffer any more. Don't know what stage he is in & after reading online figure out its last stage. Feel so sad looking at this stage and not sure what they think day & night.
It is feasible for him staying at home we have a person taking care of him 24/7.
I feel staying at home during final stage is better than dropping him at hospice...
Thanks again
Stress causes most people to think in a rigid and linear fashion. At this point, you might want to take a step back and evaluate the therapies your father is currently receiving and if they are appropriate. I'm talking about the feeding tube mostly. Did your father express a desire to be kept alive at all costs?
It may not seem like much but sitting with him and holding his hand could help to ease your stress and it might help him. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.
Thanks to all of you to support me & my dad
And put the IV.. Now doctors said I have to give a content for tomorrow to take him into operation theatre..
Feeling sad and at the same time I don't want him to suffer anymore...,
Should I worry about it
Thanks in advance
