Thanks

The one of the hospice nurses even said to us, "We have to be very honest with you: in all sincerity, this is unfortunately the natural progression of things and we as nurses can only do so much. We do our best everyday to make her feel as comfortable as possible, and we do our best to help feed her and take care of her."

At least they're trying their best. They are very nice and caring. They watch movies with her and play games whenever possible. But she sleeps a lot because of the geodon they give her. I don't know why she's on an AP anymore when she's in hospice. She's not a danger to herself anymore like she was when we put her in IP. Plus, it's not helping with anything. It's just sedating her.

It's bad because she has BP *and* dementia. I dont think she's manic anymore. She seems depressed if anything. I wish she had something useful to combat the depression, because I can imagine a manic crash plus dying in hospice makes a godawful episode. I don't think she knows she's dying, but I think she does feel lonely and confused (which is understandable because she doesn't recognize us anymore). And they need to stop using geodon to make her sleep away the rest of her days. I think that's f***ed up.
