女儿 Shares Her Mother’s 临终关怀 Care Experience
I am waiting for my mom at a nail salon in Mountaintop, Pa. where two of her grandchildren reside. 两个月前, 我从来没有想过我和妈妈会在距离我们位于塞尔的家两小时路程的山顶享受一个美丽的秋日. 我妈妈今年96岁,最近因充血性心力衰竭住院. She was retaining so much 流感id that her breathing was affected, her clothes/shoes did not fit, she struggled to get in/out of bed ... 生活很艰难. 医院里的医生和护士尽了最大的努力来治疗妈妈,但她的心脏跟不上她身体的需求. There were options such as surgery, 但是妈妈不久前决定把回家的路交给上帝.
Before discharge from the hospital, I had so many concerns and questions. How would we manage at home? 在控制她的体液方面可能会有限制,她的饮食会是什么样子? She already ate little and not much food appealed to her. 监测她的钠和液体摄入量似乎是如此繁重和有限. How would she get into/out of bed without difficulty, without harm? How will she be comfortable and happy in her present condition? 了解了我的担忧和焦虑程度,医院建议我接受姑息治疗/临终关怀. This is when our wonderful relationship with 临终关怀 began.
The minute 临终关怀 became involved, my anxiety level plummeted. Our 临终关怀 Care Manager, 凯伦, who came to our home shortly after discharge, explained the 临终关怀 philosophy. After she left, I could breathe again. Mom could eat whatever she enjoyed. We got a hospital bed which made a tremendous difference. Mom would have a nurse visit every week and we had a number to call 24/7.
Words can’t express the appreciation we have for our 临终关怀 Nurse, Susanne. 在她的照顾和专业知识下,我妈妈减掉了28磅的液体体重,感觉棒极了. 不用说,要做到这一点并不容易,但需要细心的照顾和持续的监测, Susanne and her team met the challenge!
Today, my mom is actively getting through her bucket list. 时间不是花在看医生上,而是花在外出就餐和修指甲上. 妈妈在山巅探望她孙子的新家,不久她将飞往佛罗里达看望另外四个住在新家的孙子. 生活是美好的!
对我们来说,临终关怀不是关于死亡或绝望,而是希望和拥有充实生活的工具. We don’t know when my mom’s he艺术 will stop beating but with hospice, she won’t miss a beat the rest of her life.
