Mom's AL memory care talked me into signing a DNR saying if they did CPR it would ido more harm than good. Broken ribs, punctured lungs, etc.
Shrill soonbe94 and is going downhill fast.
In and out of hospital, ER
They just brought her back from hospital after 3 days and now theywantmeto sign another one. I
I'm uncomfortable with this. I don't wantall these DRN flying around making me look like I want her to die. It took everything I had to sign the first one.
I don't even know if I had the right to do that. I do know she would never want to be on machines. She is ready to go but I'll never be resets let ergo.
Any advice or thoughts would be appreciated. I don't know why they want me to sign another. They said readmission, but that doesnt sound right to me.
Ill never do this to my loved ones. It is an awful place to be. Heart wrenching.
She is in A Fib - I'm going to google that now.
Her nurse is fabulous, Henrietta. I'm glad she is there for her.
If you have POA for health care, then I believe that should certainly cover the legal part. As to why you have to sign again, likely readmission is the reason. They have a lot of rules they must follow and some seem nonsensical to us but there are reasons behind them (at least there are supposed to be). I think you can sign this DNR with no guilt knowing that you are doing what your mother wants.
Take care,
