We're at the end of mom's battle. She hasn't had food since Saturday, or fluids since Sunday, and very little of each. She's been in bed since Monday. Breathing is a bit labored but we're doing Morphine & Ativan q4h. Urine output less than 75cc today. Family is coming in to say goodbye and we're just in a waiting game now. I was surprised to learn that one can go 7 - 14 days without food or water. I don't think mom will last that long if that is what takes her because her nutrition & hydration status were so poor before this weekend (No feeding tube). Just wondering how long some of your PALS lasted after PO intake ceased?
