Started giving Sibyl morphine @ 4pm yesterday. Instructions say 0.5 ML every 4 hours but I waited until 3:30 this morning for the second dose.
Also giving her lorazepam after discussing with hospice nurse.
She is resting comfortably but very shallow breathing.
Thru the tube the morphine takes about 40 minutes to work.
I am planning to give her another dose around 7 am which is one half hour sooner than directed but with the 40 minute delayed reaction I think it is okay.
This may be the first flutter of her wings.
