I hope she does bring him home. I really want to see him one last time.

I'm so sorry that you are going through this. You've had so much loss this year.
I don't know if this helps or not but patients are eligible for hospice when the dr feels their lifespan is 6 months or less. That's obviously a guess and some people live a lot longer but that's the rule. Sometimes it's much faster for various reasons, often a new but serious diagnosis or a delayed decision to go on hospice by the patient or family.
Hospice is really good at helping people be home if at all possible if that's what the family wants. I hope that if that's your grandma's wish it can be fulfilled. I also hope you are able to visit. This is a hard time with COVID to go through this kind of thing.
Thoughts and prayers for you and your family
