Gosh this is such a traumatic way of losing your elderly father. 😢

That choked “Daddy…” at 6:00 broke my heart. I lost my mom to cancer almost 4 years ago and I dread the day I have to say goodbye to my dad, too.

A situation like this absolutely sucks because my mother had dementia.. other people got on my ass asking me why I couldn't take care of her.. back then it was about 2013.. myself and my husband was living in a crappy apartment.. on the third floor.. she had three Windows to fall out of and two sets of stairs to fall down she was safer in the nursing home.. my husband put his foot through the floor.. the kitchen sink was leaking the toilet would move around when you sat on it.. we have to do every single repair ourselves because the landlord was a slumlord.. the roof was leaking.. complaining did not help any.. because he had a big name so to speak.. about a year later I lost her and we ended up moving.. after my husband's mother passed away we moved away completely clean out of the state

It broke my heart seeing the daughter tell them to go ahead and Try to revive her father. CPR is absolutely brutal. Making drs and nurses attempt to resuscitate a patient with alzheimers and dementia is beyond cruel..when you work with that population first hand you see how poor the quality of life is at the end

@@debbylou5729 relax it isnt that deep. from a healthcare worker stand point, especially with this age group and the given dementia, id have to agree to quality of life over quantity. while yes it sound very cruel, cpr is very traumatic and painful to the person receiving it, especially the elderly. even if they were to be revived they would face countless problems in the long run if they even wake up at all. cpr isnt what it looks like on tv is a very traumatic experience for everyone. as cruel as it may sound, i feel most people would find theyd rather not be suffering or in pain for the remainder of their life. I hope this better helps explain the standpoint.

@@debbylou5729 It's not like that. CPR is violent and traumatic. It often breaks ribs in young, healthy people. In a man this old, it definitely would. And those broken ribs could potentially puncture a lung or cause other internal damage. And honestly, the CPR survival rate is extremely low. We're talking less than 10% survival rate outside of the hospital, about 17% in-hospital. People in their 70s or older, or those with preexisting heart or lung conditions have even lower survival rates. And what kind of survival are we looking at, really? 6-10 weeks of recovery from broken bones, prolly longer cause he's elderly, potential lung infections due to said broken ribs coupled with being in a hospital in the first place, and he still has to deal with dementia. Like OP said, it is beyond cruel

My granddad had dementia, and Parkinson's. It took 15 years to finally finish him off, but one thing I'll remember is when his pacemaker got checked. The doctor said he probably had a year left with it, but if they replaced it, he could live longer. By that point, he'd forgotten all of us, could barely speak, and spent 23hrs a day sleeping. It was one of the hardest choices my Grandma had to make. They were married for 63 years by the time he died, but I know she would've done anything to keep him alive just a little longer. People judging and saying it's cruel or unkind for the daughter to want to save her dad, unless you've been that daughter, you have no idea what it's like. The hope that they'll somehow be okay again never goes away.

Could someone fill me in? April said: "He lost his IV" Does that mean that someone took the needle out? The one that was supposed to give him his medicine? Did his daughter pull the needle out?

It means it was no good anymore. Probably infiltrated and the vein blew

@lindahamilton800 9 ай бұрын

Really common in geriatrics; the vessel lumen is small, the vessel wall is easily damaged, and it's hard to keep it from just blowing when you run fluids or push a bolus.

@miranda13c 9 ай бұрын

No, it just means that his vein likely “blew” which means that they can no longer receive medicine from that vein at the moment. They would have to find another vein that actually works in order to give that medicine through an IV (the fastest method).

What a loving “daughter” doesn’t first say anything about the Alzheimer’s which is crucial info. Then says she wants him to die then when he’s about to she wants to break his ribs and hopes he comes back so he can live in pain the rest of his life and won’t do the humane thing because he’s MY father. Also common obviously they weren’t saying he went out and smoked fetty he would have been dead dead no narcan if he had never done it before it was clearly accidental
