My mother fell at home and was treated in the ER. She was released to home after three days but was readmitted to the hospital the next day with pneumonia. Still in the hospital three weeks later and bounced in and out of ICU, she still has fluid in her lungs. They used Lasix to draw out the fluid. They also drained fluid from her lungs twice, 1.7 liters and then 1.5 liters. They convinced us to have her transferred to a specialty hospital 2 hours away to decrease her oxygen dependence. So far the treatment is no different than at the other hospital, lasix and breathing treatments. I read "Morphine" on her board. Is this inpatient hospice instead? If she is being given morphine, recovers and is sent home will she need to be weaned from morphine?
Are you talking to her treating physician about her prognosis?
Is your mother able to discuss her treatment options with her doctors, or is someone her healthcare proxy?
