Thank you. That is the way I feel in my heart, especially after sitting by her bedside for 2 hours today watching her sleep and thrash around. I just wasn't sure if it would seem cruel to say, just let her go. She had pneumonia a month ago and they treated it, but that was before the latest fall and the fractures and the decision to put her on comfort care.
They told me she took off her splint again today and is trying to get out of the geri-chair - she keeps sliding down to the footrest to get out of it. They are trying to devise a way to keep her in it without illegally restraining her.

I agree with Baba, from my reading pneumonia is not a bad way to go. I have to admit sometimes I wish for something like that to help bring my mom's life to an end.

Amy, if this was my mom, I'd keep her comfortable and not be aggressive about treatments. There's a reason that pneumonuia is called "the old people's friend"
