[quote=Anonymous]My FIL has advanced Alzheimer’s, is frail, sleeps most of the day, falls often, and has largely stopped eating. He does not recognize his son, cannot have any conversation, is extremely anxious, and cannot perform most ADLs. Yesterday, his wife told my DH that she was taking FIL to the hospital with Oxygen Saturation of 75%. FIL’s MOLST specifies no IV antibiotics. His wife disregarded the directive, saying it was meant for end of life and not this situation. My DH is furious. His father has no quality of life and would not want to have lived this way. Any advice? It’s heartbreaking to watch this poor man decline.[/quote]
