Today we received a nice visit from my mom's hospice Dr. Marion and Nurse Misha. Beautiful, compassionate and wise. Dr. Marion had alot of good advice. She told us that my mom's red and white blood count was dangerously low and that everyday is a gift for my mom. She let us know that if my mom wanted a wheel chair that is what we should use.
She told us that we could call anytime and any hour. She asked my mom if things got bad would she like to go back to the hospital and my mom said NO! So if we need medical treatment we are to call Dr Marian and Nurse Misha first. They will then advise us what to do. Dr. Marion told my mom that she does has options regarding her life.
One option is regarding blood transfusions. If my mom does not want anymore blood transfusions then that is her choice when to stop the transfusion. Dr. Marian told us that an infection is likely and could cause alot of problems and what to do when it arrives. My mom's immune system is basically nothing and that is why being in public is not wise.
I felt relieved knowing the Dr. handling my mom's last days. I have been in the dark a little and it feels good knowing what to expect.
