My mom is in the hospital she is 71 , her kidney transplant have stop working. She need to start dialysis again.Her body is weak and she as a lot of medical problems. She is going back and forth about start dialysis again. She is an pain ,how do I let her go
Is she OK with returning to dialysis? Or does she wish not to take it (I myself, as a retired RN would not do dialysis; I would choose a peaceful right to die by the laws of my state, instead, and my family has long understood this).
This decision is up to mom if she is mentally capable of making it. It is up to you if she cannot. I will only say that dialysis is a difficult way to live with a poor quality of life for some people. They must make their own decisions if they can and we all have that right. If you are in charge of the decision I hope you have discussed with mom when she was capable of discussing this, what she would want.
I am so sorry. This happens. And it sounds as though best medical efforts have been done and you have been afforded some extra time. I am grateful you had that. Again, I am so sorry.
It's never easy to let someone go that we love, but it's better than watching them suffer day in and day out.
God bless you.
"In the context of peritoneal dialysis, "paraphernalia" refers to the equipment and supplies needed to perform the treatment at home. This includes the dialysis solution (also called dialysate), bags, tubing, and a catheter placed in the abdomen. Proper handling and storage of these items are crucial to prevent infection and ensure effective treatment."
You accept what she decides and advocate for her comfort . That’s how you let go .
