I got a call just after 10am to say that Nan had deteriorated and probably wouldn't last the day. I got here as quickly as I could and we have all taken it in turns to sit by her bedside. She's been on a morphine and Midazolam drive since yesterday and the nurse gave her a further shot of Midazolam this evening as she was restless and agitated.
We will continue to keep a vigil throughout the night, but I really hope she slips away soon.
Sorry to hear your niews, NoM, and yes you may well be right. My old man had colon c and it went southwards rather than northwards, resulting in a long, protracted illness. There is a lot to be said for quick and fast.
Now, keep the chin up and think of all your good times together - she would want that, I bet.......
So sorry NoM, may things come to pass as easily as is possible for her. It's going to be a real comfort to her knowing you are there. Much love and support to you.
