Hi Jules
This is all so much to take in.
When I was asked if I wanted resuscitation if needed, while I was in hospital, my immediate response was "no!" I did have a discussion with the Consultant who said, with Mm and all the bone involvement and other complications, even if resuscitation worked life would have no quality. I decide it would be better to slip into the beyond rather than live a wretched existence here.
I guess it is hard making that decision for someone else, but previously, when facing life threatening surgery I had told surgeon and my family I didn't want to be resuscitated.
Do sorry the family are having such a hard time. I do hope your mum either takes a real turn for the better, or gently slips away.
Love.
Mavis
