And don't think that using hospice means that she is going to die in the next few weeks. Many people enter hospice and do so well, they get discharged from hospice. It is a good choice though, when people need help being comfortable without a lot of medical intervention.

Hospice sounds scary but many people do well and get discharge. Talk to your mom and see if she wants to sign the DNR paper or not. That is very important especially when there moved to hospice. If she does not sign make sure they are very aware of it.

Janet,

If you need to talk call me or message me on facebook. My mom had hospice too.
I stayed with her for 2 weeks before she died. They are wonderful people and will answer any questions you have no matter what time of the day or night it is.
They were a God send to us at that time. I hope shes feeling better today.
My moms care was though Home hospital in Lafayette. Your all in my prayers.
Hugs..
Linda

I'm so sorry to hear that your Mom's back in the hospital. I'm sure that everyone's tired of dealing with everything. I've never dealt with hospice so I don't have much to say but it sounds like something to check in to. I'm here if you need me!! Hugs and prayers for you both!!!

Janet I am so sorry. You and your Mom have been thru so much. I really don't know what to say other than my prayers are with you both.

I sincerely pray for healing and peace to you both.

Hospice is a wonderful help, to the patient and to the family.
