hospice

My mom was diagnosed in February 2018 with advanced ALS. She hasn't lost the ability to speak, move, eat or drink but is on oxygen and has hospice. Is it too late for any type of treatment or clinical trials/drugs?

I'm looking into hospice. I need a trilogy 24\7 ahnd would have to switch companies. Nervous about this. Has anyone had this experience \

My mom was diagnosed with advanced ALS this past Saturday in Tennessee. I drove up from Alabama. My dad drove down from Michigan. By the time I was able to get here they had already sent her home. I knew her husband is an alcoholic but not to the point he can't care for her. My mom isn't...

My honey decided it was time to go on hospice care last week, All was going well, a few new meds to help with the respiratory distress and a nurse a phone call away! Very nice until Sunday morning, I realized his lips had swollen over night till they looked like Mik Jaggars' lips, One of his...

Hospice has requested a care meeting for this upcoming Monday. Any ideas on what they go over during a care meeting or things I should have prepared for it???? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I can't handle it... My dad has been coughing for about 2 weeks now. He starts at about 7pm and it continues on until about 2am. It's so difficult for him and the rest of us to sleep. And I just don't know what to do!!! It seems that the reason for his cough is a partial collapse of his left...

I'm afraid we are getting closer to the end. Since Hurricane Irma, my dad has just gone downhill extremely quickly. He can no longer hold his head up. We have him in hospice and he is on the "cocktail." These past 2 weeks he has begun sleeping constantly, waking up for brief moments. (This...
