Mom lives in AL, she 86 yo she’s had several major falls before AL and after. Each required ER/rehab etc. last month after going thru covid and multiple chest X-rays she was diagnosed with liver failure. She was in severe pain.
Hospice was recommended and she began to further decline. but had no pain. At one point she was said to be “active”. Two weeks later she is up and wanting to stop all comfort care medication which is all she’s on.

Elder care can be kind of a roller coaster. And though they seem to be very obviously heading in one direction, the human body is an amazing thing and can really surprise us.
Well after 5 days at the hospice home, he was showing signs of improvement, and I was told he could no longer stay there. I brought him home completely bedridden under hospice care. About 10 months later, my husband was brought back to the hospice home for them to try and get his pain under control. While there the Dr. came in one morning and told me that my husband would not be coming back home as he was now dying. When I shared with my husband what the Dr. said, he said, NO-HOME!!(my husbands speech was limited due to his stroke many years earlier) And so I took him home, where he continued on for another 9 months, before I was told once again(by hospice) that my husband would be dead in 3 days. That actually was the time that I knew that my husband was dying, only because he had stopped eating and was wanting very little to drink. However his 3 days to be dead turned into 41 days before he took his last breath, so I guess the moral of the story is that only God knows the day and time when He will call your mom home, so just enjoy whatever time you have left with her. God bless you.
