[quote=Anonymous]NP here. My dad was in hospice in April and passed after only a couple of weeks, and it was a sudden decline (though he’d been fighting cancer at age 89). When we signed onto hospice, he was no longer able to see any of his regular doctors. However, he would have been permitted to go to the hospital for a small subset of conditions (don’t recall what they were). We were pleased with hospice. My sister and I stayed with my dad & were the ones to administer morphine and the other med that acted as palliative sedation. My dad passed away holding my mom’s hand, in a hospital bed in my childhood bedroom downstairs in my parents’ own home. It was quiet and peaceful, though heartbreaking. I hope that your dad continues to do well. It’s a wonderful gift that he’s present for you now. Hugs to you & your family![/quote]
