My mom has been declining quickly in the last few months. Recently she's been unable to walk from her bedroom to the bathroom across the hall so we transport her in a chair. She's already started hospice which has been a great help. I have an awful feeling that the end is near. She's been getting much weaker and her body is not digesting her tube feeding formula like it was in the beginning. I hear her coughing in bed sometimes and am so afraid she will get pneumonia. She has bulbar onset and I've read that it normally progresses to the lungs much quicker. She refuses to use her bipap but says she hasn't had any shortness of breath.. Are there any signs that the end is near?
