What options are out there when you can no longer care for you PAL? My husband has had a very very difficult few weeks and he is having a very difficult time breathing. He had a feeding tube put in last friday and things have gone down hill since. Im having to suction him every 30 mints or so, to avoid him choking on is own secretions. He is in the hospital now, but will be released monday and the only reason they put him in was to give me a break to get rest.
I have no help except for hospice, and they told me they would just come in and teach me how to take care of my husband and then would check in on me from time to time during the week. I will have someone come in 3 times a week to help me bath him now. But He is afraid to go to sleep and He keeps me up all hours of the night , move me up, down, to the side, pull me down ect...... im exhausted and im just not sure what to do.
