[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 534092, member: 1514"] tm, did hospice give you a brochure with the signs to look for of impending death on it? They gave one to us. It told us what to look for such as his hands would get colder and wouldnt warm up as well as his feet. We wouldnt be able to move him from the chair to the bed and back anymore. He would just lay in the bed and take his morphine. Of course, he stopped eating completely. We got small sips of water into just to keep his mouth wet and moist. There wasnt much swallowing going on. From the time we really knew he was going down hill...like my step mom told me that the doctor's told her that it was time to call the family in, he died within 2 weeks. He did hold on to stay somewhat well enough to at least realize I was there and he also held on till Cory got there when we told him he was coming. He died the night after Cory got there. So I think if they have given you a time limit of right around then, it could be then though she could hold on till her kids come back. [/QUOTE]
