I am so sorry to hear this news.

I can't think of anything to say that has likely already been said. I went through a similar experience a couple years ago and so I send you my most heartfelt sympathies.

He'd been in agony since last night, everything starting to shut down and because his blood pressure was so low, they couldn't give him morphine, so they gave him fentanyl which wasn't enough to stop the pain. At rounds this morning, we had the hospice talk and I agreed. They all said it was best to make him comfortable and once that was agreed on, they could start giving him Dilaudid which immediately eased his pain and he went to sleep. Early evening his blood pressure started to crater, despite them giving him the maximum pharmaceutical support. He had so many IVs in him, that the only way to give him more medicine was to do a central line in the jugular, which in itself, could have killed him because his platelets were so low due to the leukemia. It's possible, even plausible, they wouldn't be able to stop the bleeding from the central line.

Before hospice could even begin, we made the decision for AND, Allow Natural Death. They then were able to give him morphine and remove the Bi-Pap mask. He lasted maybe ten minutes and went peacefully as I held his hand.

I'm home and the fur babies are whining. It's funny how they know these things.
I am SO SO very sorry

My son is flying in today to stay for few days. I have lots of wonderful friends who are all checking in on me. I may even go to the Halloween pub crawl with some friends this Saturday, I’ll play it by ear. But I do love to see people dressed up for Halloween.

Thank you for asking.

My sister lost her husband a month ago when they were vacationing in Michigan, his birth state. When she got home she decorated her house for Halloween, her favorite holiday.
