I too offer my thoughts and prayers for your mother and your family. I'm sure it's comforting to her to be at home with you.
 
I'm personally in the realm of euthanasia so please excuse me if I'm offending anyone. I would hope that if hospice is involved that her time is short and the potential of suffering is minimal. Pulmonary fibrosis is not going to be any easy death - that's just reality. You'll have to remain strong and gentle at the same time. That is all I'll say regarding the matter and there are many here that will greive with you during your ordeal. Death is never an easy process.
 
Just caught this thread...

Annie...so sorry you're in this position. Your Mom sounds like a strong Woman, like you...

Had experience with hospice...those people who work in that field are truly "angels in our midst"...I could not do that for a living...lean on them for the comfort they provide, for both your Mom, AND you !

Prayers for all y'all...

Stoplight...
 
Everyone, Thank You soooo much for all your well wishes and prayers. Your uplifting messages are very comforting...much more than you may know. Thank you again. DBAnnie
 
Annie, my heart and prayers go out to you and your family! PF is a newish but not rare disease. I lost my dear friend a couple of years ago, and she was only in her forties. I also know of others that just kept on working for years! I'm with you sister in all ways right now. Love and blessings.......Lori
 
DB Annie - I am just seeing your posts. I am so sorry you mom is having to deal with the pulmonary fibrosis - you are already in the middle of what it can do to a person. You are both in my prayers.
He walks with you, He talks with you, and He tells you you are His own. Quiet times hard to come by, I know, but let His Voice sweep over you both - ...grandma/pat
 
Hello friends,
Thank you so much for all the well wishes and prayers. My mom is worsening and nurse said she is close to passing on. The last few weeks have been hard but for the most part she could communicate and eat a little except the last couple days. We are keeping her pain in control and she sleeps mostly the entire day now. I am doing well, just hoping that she goes to God without pain and in her sleep. Thank you again for your support. Your thoughts and prayers have really touched me. Thanks again. DBAnnie
 
Been there done that DBA, it's hard but can be a blessing when suffering is involved. Be strong is all I can say, so difficult a thing to have happen, GOD bless you, your family and especially your Mom.
 
hang in there dba.

if you need to blow off some steam, you are always welcome to stop by my thread and scream and cuss and punch the wall if it would help. that's generally accepted behavior there.
 
Annie,

My continued prayers for your mom, for you and your family and my continued admiration for being the strong person that you are. You are a shining example of how one should handle themselves during such a trying time. May God grant you peace and understanding that only he can provide.

Hello my friends,
Thank you so much for your support, words of encouragement and prayers. Sorry I did not post sooner. My mom passed away Saturday morning peacefully in her sleep. It is what she and my sister and I had hoped for. It was difficult as the weeks passed with different ills, and she went through the entire dying process. She experienced hallucinations/ or visions based on your beliefs. She heard doves, saw little girls by her bedside and others and finally her beloved sister. She also looked out at times and described beautiful trees, mountains, and deer..more beautiful than she had ever seen. Sometimes she was on light morphine and other times not. She passed on June 21, the exact same day that her beloved sister diid just three years ago of the exact same disease. They were very close sisters so it was beautiful and fitting they died on the same day. I had thought that might happen earlier in the week because they were so close and because it would represent one final thing they did the same...they used to kid with each other that whoever died first would drop the rope down to the other. This sister is the same one she saw at her bedside a few days before she went to God.

Last week, After the brother she had not yet seen came to visit her on Wednesday, she started to go down quickly on Thursday....so much so that by days end we were administering oral morphine each hour. By early Friday morning, we knew this was not going to be sufficient so we had EMS take her to hospital for immediate pain relief and then on to an inpatient hospice facility for continuous morphine drip to manage the pain. It was increased as she could indicate when needed and later as she slept nurses would monitor for signs of pain. She passed away just before 7am with sister and I present. We buried her Yesterday in San Antonio. She is now resting with God.

Thank you so very much for all your thoughts and prayers. God's blessings to all of you!
Sincerely, DBAnnie
