Hospice is great Janet. All you have to do is contact them, and they will send someone to tell you all about it. Basically, it means that you stop with all the tests, and just keep her comfortable. Oxygen or pain meds or whatever she needs to feel better, but no life saving measures. Hospice also provides emotional support for the family. Just give them a call. I used hospice for both my parents and Mike's dad, and I'm so glad I did. If you don't, the hospital and docs will just keep doing tests and procedures whether they really help or not, because that's what they have to do.
