Karen,

Thank you for the advice regarding the feeding tube. I am happy to hear that you did not need the tube. THat is great. But my mom will not agree and also she is being stubborn about getting in home health care. What is the difference between hospice and nursing in home? When is it considered "time" for hospice? My mom does not like the idea of hospice or anyone in the home. BUt my dad is not coping very well. My mom cant eat or speak and he is getting tired. I suggested it and now, I believe I have to insist on it for my mom and dad. Friends and family have discussed hospice with me and I am not sure exactly what the difference is. Thanks again And I will pray for you and your family Karen. God Bless
