She's dying isn't she?

[McSteamyorMcdreamy]

Mum discharged herself from hospital today.

Hiatus hernia. She can't eat or drink anything. Literally throws it straight back up.

Can't walk because her lower back is buggered.

UTI in blood. Been given antibiotics but nothing seems to be giving her a boost.

Sat in a sodding chair for 36 hours at A&E. Not slept for at least 48. Said she just wanted to go home.

I'm really scared 😭

MNHQ EDIT to gently suggest that MNers new to this thread take the time to read through all of the OP's posts before answering

Oh my goodness OP! I got a shock just reading your update, I cannot imagine how shocking it must have been for your family. I am so, so sorry! I’m glad you advocated for her and got her seen but I am sorry she is so poorly and that she hasn’t recieved the care she deserves. Big hug x

Im so sorry OP. Sending lots of love and hugs 🫂

I am so very sorry to read this update.💔 Even though they don't really help, I am sending you {{HUGS}} and comforting thoughts as you traverse this next step.

Keep talking to your Mom. Talk about happy and funny memories. Even if you think she doesn't hear, she does. It will be good for both of you. 💐

What a shock. I am so sorry. You sound like an amazing daughter xx

I am so so sorry. What terrible news. I had been following hoping this would be resolved for you all. Sending you and your precious mum hugs.

So sorry 💐

So Sorry. I had hoped your instincts were wrong

I’m so so sorry OP. I was hoping for a better outcome for you both.
I know it’s not what you are wanting to have to deal with right now but I would say - try and record a few conversations with her. Being able to hear someone’s voice is such a comfort when things progress.

hopefully they will keep her comfortable. I’ll be thinking of you both.

Oh I am so sorry 😢 and she’s been treated appallingly.
Your instincts are right and all of the health care staff should have listened to you

So very sorry to hear such bad news OP. Have been through something similar recently & can only echo the comments about how wonderful hospice care is. Will be thinking of you and your lovely mum. 💔

@McSteamyorMcdreamysending love ❤️

@McSteamyorMcdreamy
Sending love.
I hope you feel able to come back to this thread because there's a lot of support here and it might help.

I’m so so sorry OP. I can’t begin to imagine what you’re going through 😔

I'm so sorry - have been thinking of you and your mum xx

So she's still holding on, although the "rattle" has taken hold a bit today. 2.5 hours dozing in nearly 48hrs. Think I'm running on fumes now.

We think it is going to be overnight tonight.

Thankyou for all your kind messages. Really helped over the last couple of weeks ❤️

I'm very sorry @McSteamyorMcdreamy are the rest of your family with you?

This must be incredibly difficult for everyone involved. Sending you lots of virtual hugs xx

Heart breaking to read.

sending you all so much love at this truly awful time.

Sending thoughts for a peaceful passing for your mum, and hugs to you in this liminal space. You've had a right couple of weeks!

So sorry to hear this McS. To quote my Nana before anything difficult, "Don't forget to eat, you'll need your strength."

I'm so sorry. Wishing you strength and peace.

🤍

I hope she’s comfortable and peaceful OP. Keep talking to her. I’m so sorry you’re going through this

Sending strength to you on the most difficult of nights for your family.

Holding you all in my thoughts tonight, OP.
