As the end nears, I feel more and more compelled that when she is nearing her death, I will stay with her 24X7 until she takes her final breath. I have 5 weeks worth of vacation and personal time accrued at work. I really do not want her to go through this alone. She was there for my dad... I feel as though I need to be there for her...
Gary,
Thank you for reminding me that the stronger meds make it mandatory to have 24X7 care. I need to keep an eye on that issue as it progresses.
Amy,
It sure isn't pretty... And, pain control is soooooooooo critical... I look at my mom and think oh my god, how much worse is it going to get??? Sadly, I believe that the worst is yet to come.
