My sister who lives in Germany and was diagnosed with ALS in 2019 has been in the hospital since last week for pneumonia and a really bad urinary tract infection.After three days they put her in a medically induced coma because she kept feeling like she was choking and her oxygen levels were low.They were supposed to be waking her up slowly today after doing a tracheotomy two days ago.I cannot get any information from the doctors at all because her friend who has the power of attorney made sure that she’s the only one that gets information.She thinks that she should be fine to go home by herself with nurses coming three times a day and the occasional visitor.My sister fell multiple times and can’t use her hands any more and has told me that she can’t walk very good at all.I am trying to explain to her friend that I don’t think she will “just fine” on her own anymore!I am flying there in April.But I’m not sure what to expect!
