Hi everyone, my Dad is now actively dying. He started rapidly deteriorating over the weekend. He couldn't inhale well and was gasping for air. He stopped tolerating his tube feedings and were increasing is morphine and Ativan doses everyday. On Monday the hospice determined that he was eligible for around the clock nursing care and that started Monday night. He is on 40 mg of morphine and 2 mg Ativan every 3 hours. His urine is the dark amber / tea colored. (What little of it there is)
On Monday morning he could nod or shake his head but that was the last real communication . He is unresponsive now but will moan and grimace right at the three hour mark .
I'm praying for him to pass quickly.
