I wish I did. Pat’s last meal was when I fed her (see previous post) . She currently is comfortable but will not take in food or water. She was started on clysis, a form of hydration that is sub-Q as opposed to IV about 4 days ago. That is now being discontinued in fear of overloading her.

She is non responsive and sleeps 98% of the time, the nurses are unable to give her oral medications as she will not open her mouth or swallow.

I tried numerous times to get her to drink or eat, however I am now in fear of generating greater discomfort, as we all are.

Thanks for all your support

 edit: I meant to add, all the staff at the home, and my parents, have tried to rouse her and feed her, or get her to take some food or medication. We are extremely worried about her swallowing and aspiration, which would make thing much worse for her comfort. It was not solely “I” in this effort.
