As of Saturday, my mom has had obvious and audible difficulty breathing. She's been gasping for breath, and when laying down it's worse. She has never in the entire course of her disease allowed us to give her any sort of breathing assistance - no bipap, no cough assist, no oxygen. On Sunday she finally said yes to the oxygen. This in itself is a big deal to me for her to actually accept using oxygen.
I saw her today and she looked like she was dying. It's obviously she's struggling to breathe. My question is -- does this sound like the end? The nurse will see her on Wednesday to check for noise in her lungs and the death rattle or what not. But in your experience does this seem like it might be it? I am so tired of watching her suffer...
