G-ma…final update

When I arrived to the hospital around 1:30 yesterday afternoon she was pretty much acting like a autistic child.  She did not focus on anyone and had twitches and shakes continuously.  Shortly before i got there they had given her 2 mg’s of morphine that aparently were not working.  For the next 3.5 hours she continued to shake and almost choke on her own fluids and tongue.  They decided around 4pm to reduce her IV fluid intake from 100ml/hour to 20ml/hour which help with all the fluid in her throat.  THey had continued to give her 2 mg of morphine every hour and around 4:15 she finally fell asleep.  However they didn’t have her propped up so she was choking on her tongue and having a hard time breathing.  We got the nurse to come in and prop her head up more and they provided her with oxygen through the nose just to “comfort” her and NOT to assist her breathing as she has a “do not recessitate, do not incubate”.  She has been asleep since and will probably NOT be waking up again.  They believe that as of right now her kidneys have started to fail and the rest of her body will be joining her shortly.   They are guessing that she will probably pass either this afternoon or this evening into the early morning.   That is all I have for now…. Jess….sorry for misleading you but it was easier to say that my g-ma has passed (which at this point she pretty much has) then to go into detail…especially with the exciting news that you brought me!
