My DH has been on a ventolater (sp) since Saturday night to help him breath. They are keeping him heavily sedated . Doctors are telling me his lungs are so badly scarred from chemo and that they don't think he will get any better than he is right now. They will continue to treat the pneumonia and monitor his low platelets and white blood cell counts. I asked how long he can stay on the breathing tube and they said 8 to 10 days. I asked about lung transplant and they said probably not due to his age and compromised immune system. I will either have to honor his request to not use machines to prolong his life or they can put in a trach and feeding tube. How and when do you make a decision like this? How do you care for someone in this situation at home?
Prayers please.
