When I had to take ...YES, I agree this is horrible! When I had to take my Mom to the hospital for dehydration & bladder infections which caused her not to eat, all the Drs. except one GOOD DR. wanted to send her back to the Nursing home to die rather than put her on IV for a couple of days! Their reason was that she had no quality of life because she had altzeimer's. BUT I begged to differ because when she was NOT dehydrated she was witty, sang hymns with great memory & was a pleasure to be with! She lived 2 extra yrs because my sisters & I checked on her & I fed her a good dinner many days at the nursing home where the care givers didn't have time to make sure she had enough to eat & drink. She would have died 2 yrs before if our family had not kept close watch on her!!<br />Karen DeVitonoreply@blogger.com
