Advice?
Hi, I've been a long time lurker, but I could really use some advice, (and probably lots of T&P)
My H's grandfather has congestive heart failure and is only down to about 10% of his heart. His last chance was a heart pump, and we were hoping that he would want to go that route, however this week, he has decided that he wants to go home on hospice, which was a shock to us.
we are naturally very worried about what will happen next does anyone have any experience with hospice, or what we can expect? I know all cases are different but I am feeling a little lost
Re: Advice?
This is exactly my experience, too. My grandfather was in hospice for a shortish time when he was diagnosed w/ liver cancer. There wasn't anything anyone could do for him, and those nurses we beyond wonderful. We were all a wreck and even though we had a semi-short stay w/ him there, we couldn't have asked for anyone better.
You'll be in my thoughts during this difficult time. Just spend time w/ him; laugh, cry, ask about his life experiences, etc. He will be so grateful for the chance to spend time w/ all of you and so will you.
Thank you all so much, its been a roller-coaster of emotions and its really nice to know that other people have been through what we are, and that we can survive this..
