My dad aspirated on Wednesday morning, started running fever. Many meds were given. Antibiotics morphine Tylenol. A patch to dry up mucus and oxygen is ongoing.
He was suctioned and given meds to rest. Offered thickened soup. No response to any food or drink. On Thursday offered thickened tea but could not keep in his mouth. He opened for a bite but seems not to swallow. He spit on the floor. He jerks like he is falling. If no food or liquids being swallowed, what can I expect? He is under hospice care. Age 95.
I am so sorry. I wish you peace during this difficult time in your life. It’s very hard.
I hope his passing is peaceful.
