Why is it spitting phlegm when his fluid intake is zero. Is it in its final phase ..... What should she do, she does not know. but tells me why am I spit mucus ....... please help a girl worried
Yes please call Hospice ASAP! If you do not know who to call, call the hospital and they can give you a figure for palliative care in your area. insurance for your mom must pay for it. They can help take care of your mother if you do not have to bear the burden alone. My father had cancer and hospice nurses were wonderful, we would not have done it without them
Can you call someone from palliative care? They are the best to try to help you through this difficult time, they know how to help your mother through the worst part It sounds as if it is near the end especially if it is not bound to the liquid his lower body just does not want more. Please call hospice for them to come and make yourself and two a little more comfortable in these hard hours God bless you both.
Oh, I'm sorry for your problems and your mother's illness. Just do what you can make him comfortable and help. Spend as much time with her as you can. Sorry.
PLEASE contact Hospice to help relieve the suffering of your mother. You are in my prayers.
