Can someone talk to me about COPD - my mum is very unwell

[doughnutty]

She's had this for a number of years now. She has oxygen and a nebuliser that she uses constantly and is also taking morphine. She's been hospitalised twice since xmas and has had numerous episodes recently which have her bedridden for days at a time. GP was round today and has upped her oxygen and organised for the district nurse to come in tomorrow to put in a catheter.
My dad is her carer but he is also in poor health (had a heart attack 8 weeks ago, had stents fitted and awaiting gall bladder removal).
Me and DSis live close but she works 2 jobs, 6 days a week and, although I'm on maternity leave, my kids are 20 months and 6 weeks and unable to be there as often as I'd like. (The house is not toddler friendly at all).
Anyway, this is not about how guilty I feel. I really want to know what's likely to happen next and what timeframe we have. I am not the strongest person emotionally at the best of times and hormones are still rampant, but I need to know what I'm dealing with. Mum is very low understandably and was talking today about just wanting to go to sleep but not wanting to leave her DGCs. I feel so helpess and .

Sorry to hear about your mum doughnutty. At least she isn't suffering any more. Thinking of you.

So sorry Doughnutty, I am glad she is at peace and did not suffer for too long. We are still waiting here, and like you we all hope for a quick and peaceful end to this.

So sorry for your mum doughnutty, but very glad for her (and for you and your family) that she didn't suffer for long at the end.

I made a thread in January about my dear MIL who had COPD as well, asking how long people thought she might have. She passed away 2 weeks after I started my thread, it was a very drawn out death and very hard for DH and his family.

Very sorry for your loss. Be kind to yourself.
