Disneyphile's mom

Morrigoon · 02-20-2008, 05:14 PM

Talked to her half an hour ago. Pretty much what Neph said.

The nice thing about hospice vs. ICU is that they can create a much more comfortable environment; they can surround her with treasured items, no bright lights, and there will be a bed for Disneyphile's dad so he can stay in the room with her. Also hospice has some better drugs available to them which are focused more on preserving the quality of the life remaining, rather than the life itself (eg: can kill the pain better while hopefully allowing her to regain consciousness a bit more to spend some quality time with her family and friends). So they're going to 'party' a bit with her to celebrate her life and brighten up the time she has remaining.

Goonie, thanks for the news. That's awesome, it will be much better than being in ICU. I've been thinking of them all day, and will continue to send the good thoughts.

thanks for the update. I don't know her mom at all but based on the woman she has raised that she is quite the wonderful person and her life truly deserves to be honored and celebrated!

I reckon all the treasured items I'd ever need is a laptop and a link to you guys.

You are all such a blessing, I'm so glad to be part of this LoT.

Continued thoughts & prayers to T&K and family.
