My turn to vent. Friday, we went up to UCSF ALS center for a respiratory therapy visit. And my PAL end up staying in the hospital, because his breathing has become so weak and he has lost so much weight. That now they (the ALS team of Doctors) are talking about putting in a breathing tube and feeding tube.....things have been very sad for us over the weekend. I came home tonight to get clean clothes and to talk to my sons about their Dad's current situation.
My boys where very understanding....the worst of it all is that I have been waiting for my husband to try to make the best decision for himself...
Saturday, my Sister-in-law's girlfriend who she lives with, started a verbal argument with me, accusing me of keeping information from the family.....and today his other sister, started on me verbally and then told the doctor on duty that I am starving him and won't take care of him. And her out burst started because I ask her and the other family member who was in the room to step out for a minute while the respiratory therapist could answer some questions for my husband and I......about the breathing tube.
I am very upset and sad.....why do people have to act out when someone is dying.
