[quote=Anonymous]progressive dementia, then fell/broke pelvis, then on hospice, a few weeks where she talked a bit and ate here and there but stopped getting up and moving, then stopped really being consicous of what was happening, stopped really eating, then only drinking a little, then a few days of labored breathing, then a few hours of really labored breathing (despite all the morphine and ativan), and then it all stopped. I was there for it all. It was devastating but also a privilege to be with her for her last breaths. I am grateful she was not in a hospital. For my MIL, it was kidney stones/UTI/sepsis/ICU, then rehab, but she got progressively weaker, with some fluid in lungs and some trouble swallowing. We think she may have choked on applesauce given to her for her meds. she took the applesauce and meds, they left, 20 minutes later she was dead. [/quote]
