LyndseyG Posted December 11, 2018 Author Share Posted December 11, 2018 Earlier today mum was rushed to hospital. She has had another, bigger stroke, at the brainstem. She is breathing heavily and moves as if she's asleep and dreaming but is otherwise unresponsive. The doctors said she has about 24 hours. We spent most of the day with her but have come home to get some sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I speak on behalf of all of your TRF brothers and sisters when I say we are here for you. Much love sending your way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LyndseyG Posted December 12, 2018 Author Share Posted December 12, 2018 Thank you guys! There has been little change since my last update. Very now and then she moves a bit. The nurses said it's because she is uncomfortable/in distress. They give her morphine and other end of life meds to make her comfortable. They are talking about moving her either to the hospice or a different care place. It all depends on whether there is a bed available with nurses that can administer the meds. Also if she has a sudden deterioration they might decide that it won't be a good idea to move her. Part of me hopes the hospice can take her in as that's what she asked for before the strokes. Just waiting, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toymaker Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 I just had a discussion with a colleague at work about how difficult - almost impossible, really - it is to have a conversation about this kind of thing. When I look at her and she has tears in her eyes, I know she doesn't really have to say anything . . . safe to say that your friends and your friends here are feeling those impossible-to-express things for you as you go through this. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
