My sister (diagnosed 7 years ago, bedridden, tube fed, ventilated, communication system) had an oxygen drop a couple of days ago. Doctors said there may have been irreversible damage. She has not responded to stimulation since. The fever has gone down just today. Her medical care directive instructs to continue feeding and hydration but no resuscitation or hospitalization. She is sedated for pain relief. Palliative doctors visited on Friday, decided not to take extraordinary measures. They will reassess on Monday. What measures can they take? Is this it?
