My father is almost 88 yrs old. He was diagnosed with ahlzeimers over a year ago. Has two lesions on both feet that have been treated to no avail. Dr has told me that he is in the end of life stage. Spiking fevor, white nailbed, on oxygen, and infection on feet may be spreading and be the cause, as he can not fight the infection. Has Hospice. What do you think?
I firmly believe that they can have some control over when they die, we've all heard about the woman who dies the day after her daughter's wedding or the man who holds on until the distant son comes home. Perhaps your dad is still here because he has some unfinished business, or perhaps he is holding on for your sake... when you tell him you love him tell him also that even though you will miss him you will be OK, give him permission to go. ((hugs))
I wish I knew why he is still here .
It is so heartbreaking ,he is so loved , I tell him every day
when my mom stopped eating she was shutting down . she lasted about 3 days . she didnt starve . she was just dying and didnt want food or water .
