My grandfather has suddenly taken the turn. He's not coherent, now has a foley catheter (after he collapsed trying to go to the bathroom last night; they drained a liter), is jerking in his sleep, and my mom has been giving him liquid morphine (0.5mg) every hour, and the last time - about 0545 - it took 30 minutes more for him to relax and respond to it. I couldn't take today off as it was not outside the 2 hour window I need to call into work to call off. So I'm at work, told my manager that I won't be in tomorrow, and am planning on spending tomorrow with my mom and grandpa. I'm probably going straight from work to my mom's house, but I'm not spending the night as I don't think I can handle it. My mom is going to call me when she talks to the hospice nurse and let me know what the plan is. Please send thoughts, love, and prayers.
Thank you.
HUGS!
