Jim's hospice team helped me prepare for similar event, I didnt need to use and I hope you don't either. 911 was informed that they may be called to offer assistance POLST in place so they knew not to resussitate and there was a calling tree of people who could come quickly to help. I or kids just needed to make one call. Put dark colored sheets on bed. Have plenty of dark towels ready, etc. I used red ice cream pail for when he was sick.n I can't imagine being able to do this but the main thing they said to do was stay calm and be there for him, and that it would happen quickly. I so wish you didn't have to go through this! Treasure every minute!
