[quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm so sorry. My father died after the tube feed was stopped. He had advanced Parkinson's, and at that stage, even the tube feed (through stomach) was causing aspiration pneumonia. I just wanted to add that if the hospital offers hospice in hospital, it may be a good option. My dad was in HIH for about a week, and then he went to an in-patient hospice facility. He died within 24 hours of being transferred. It was peaceful but still very, very hard. He had Parkinson's dementia, and I don't know how much he understood of what was happening.[/quote]
