Not sure if this the right place to post. Mum is 83 has pulmonry fibrouses, osteporososis and infection. She is in hospital and became unresponsive on thurs night. Got called back in this am as her breathing is shallow. She is on oxygen but struggling. Im on my own at mo though family around just frightned and my ordered mind wants to know what next. Sorry if a ramble..if i dont come back quickly Its not that i dont appreciate you all Its just that.. Well you know..Thanks

I did the same with my mum, it was the saddest and loveliest experience I've ever had. Make sure that you take breaks for food and drink. Ask for a put you up bed so that you can sleep alongside her. The lovely Princess of Wales hospital in Bridgend did this for me Smile

Thank you for all your kind posts. We are saying goodbye on Monday. I wont like im dreading it but hoping that i feel some relief. Just knowing there are others who understand is such a comfort.

Love and thoughts to you flapjack. We always thought the osteporososis would cause mums end. The pulmonry fibrosis crept up over the last few years and took away the strength she had. Love and hand hold to you all.
