One week and half ago my granny was able to get in surveillance where they would determine whether she is able to live alone at home. It would be a four day surveillance period. Thrid day morning they found my granny next to her bed laying in the ground. She was taken into hospital to check for broken bones.
She has been a week in the hospital now. She has stopped eating, and the breathing is really difficult. A week ago I was told that she might have few months left. That she might see Christmas, but that was not very likely. Last Friday my mother (surprise surprise) called me and told that they now estimate it to be from hours to few days (mostly a week or so). She is fed through tube and she has been given nasal cannuals.
On Friday I heard that her DNR was reaffirmed from relatives. So now the waiting game is on. I really hope that she won't have to suffer for long. When I visited her with my brother last Saturday, she was taken into a room of one (she was in a room of three). This is the last part of the hospice care, to give peace.
More info: she is now barely breathing (no deep dreaths at all). So from now on I might be a bit jumpy when my phone rings...
