[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 535669, member: 1514"] Terry, I am so sorry about your dad. I hope I am not overstepping my bounds but I think your family is doing the right thing in refusing the feeding tube and going hospice and giving him as much morphine as it takes to keep him pain free right now. Thankfully I was saved the decision of placing the feeding tube or not because my mom died of a heart attack about two or three months before that would have become necessary. I am so glad. I would have refused it though. I have a feeling the nursing home would have fought me on it though. This is also my biggest fear. God bless your family. [/QUOTE]
