[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A DNR order can include antibiotics so the UTi will bring about sepsis and that may help. You can still give palliative morphine so it isn't too painful. At least in Maryland. [/quote] My sister and I have talked about this option for our mom. She's in her late 80s and her quality of life is pretty miserable after a stroke. She has no terminal conditions and her chain smoking mother and grandmother lived to almost 100. She asks us repeatedly why she isn't allowed to just die, like right now. I have read that a UTI is often one of the last conditions listed on someone's chart. Has anyone heard of a family's experience with this?[/quote]
