I got a call this morning from Bob's care facility that his condition has suddenly worsened. He is not responsive and the nurse said that he could go at anytime. My wife and I went down there and my sister showed up later. We stayed for a while, he would stop breathing, then he would start to try and breath, which would build to the point where he would snore and rattle and gasp for air. Sometimes his eyes would open but they would not fix on anything and then his eyes would close again, he would settle down and it would start all over again.
Hospice came and they ordered morphine and other drugs to be administered. We left, had lunch, and came back a hour or so later and he was still doing the same thing, we left for the day since he could linger on like this for hours or days.
He will not be transferred to a hospice facility probably because this facility can handle everything that needs to be done.
