Thanks for your prayers and advice.
Gary--
Thank you for sending advice that should have been so obvious to me. I hadn't thought of in home hospice care, and had forgotten that they can give tx's at home. I shared the info with Eddie and he is going to talk to Nancy; hopefully she will be able to see how much more comfortable her dad will be and the relief she will get.
Also, your response to my anger was very helpful--thanks. Even though I know all of this, was raised Roman Catholic, taught CCD for 7 years, went to catholic school my entire life....I'm still disappointed. Too many people whom I have loved have had to suffer so greatly. I'm sure that everyone on here can agree.
Thanks again for your guidance, it's always appreciated.
