Folks, I have been around hospice care quite a bit.  It is not about trying to get someone better.  It is end of life care when hopes of getting well are not realistic.   Hospice is about making the last part of life more comfortable.  It is about easing pain and usually involves a lot of med aided sleep with short periods of wakefulness, and hopefully communication.  It's about peace.   

Doing hospice at home is....  what some patients and families want or think they want.   It is almost always very hard on the family care giver.

Just my opinion, and a plug for hospice, but I will certainly go hospice if that condition reaches me.  But I would go to a free-standing hospice to ease the burden on Linda and not have her or others come into our home and think, 'he died here.'

My prayers are for Dave's comfort, salvation, and for Yanis and others who care about him.  

God bless.

Agree John. when you first posted that he was going home, and Hospice would be there, I knew what would be the outcome.We would all like for him to get better, but as we all know, God has other plans. Continued prayers for Dave, Yannis, and all their family and friends.

That is some terrible news John, but thanks for sharing it with all of us. Dave is more or less royalty around here. Sending nothing but good wishes and loving thoughts his way.

A good day to come when after doing everything you can do on this great earth, you pass through the doors of our Lord. Thank you Dave for inspiring me. Peace be with you.
