He stopped dialysis on Wednesday. Hospice came in the same day. We discussed this with my dad and this is what he's wanted for a long time. He said he's ready for the next stage of his life and he can't wait to see my mom. So after the intake nurse finished we had a good night. Yesterday morning his nurse came and he was hallucinating a lot. So the nurse explained the meds hes going to be given and she gave him a small dose of lorazepam to settle him down. Well it knocked him for a loop. He slept all day and was restless all night. Does not communicate at all. Except grunting. I called his nurse and she told me to give him morphine. Wait 15 minutes and if he was still agitated to give him haloperidol. I'm afraid of that medicine. Only hearing bad things. Is there anyone who has used this medicine and can explain it to me? The things I've read say may cause sudden and immediate death. Thanks everyone for your help.
So sorry for your loss.
Hoping you have peace about it, as he is no longer suffering.
