So we have been told MIL has liver cancer. She got admitted with a chest infection, 2nd one in a month needing hospital admittion.
She is meant to be moving into her new assisted living place this week, we have bought new white goods, already installed, new bedroom furniture, all built and everything is there apart from her hospital,bed and hoist which is getting moved on Thursday. We can't stop the move, it needs to be done now.
I'm worried now that she won't be coming out of hospital. She has rapidly declined in the past month, lost so much weight and has become quite confused. It has been out down to having quite a severe chest infection on top of copd, however I am now concerned that the cancer has spread to her brain as she has never been confused like this before.
Went to visit her tonight and she was barely conscious, nodding on and off sleep. She has a bedsore so,positioning her every two hours but she is refusing to be moved as doesnt find it comfortable. She is also refusing meds as she thinks the docs are drugging her because she feels tired.
At a loss what to do. We are having a meeting tomorrow, just wanted to get this off my chest really. Thanks for reading.
