We haven't seen the doc, the hospice nurse is our "go between" and she is dismissive of it. Glad I read this post just now. She's on her way for today's visit. I will ask her for more info, because pain is managed, it's not the narcotics, nor the suspected brain issues... SO.. natural progression of the dying process?
I have read that confusion, etc. is common, but he still seems like he isn't that close to going...
It's frustrating and confusing, and gut wrenching... will update y'all this afternoon.
