You know I'm here for you.

One bit of info not many realize. "Hospice" is a death watch. Despite the name *sounding* so much like "hospital", it's sole purpose is to make your grandpa's last days as comfortable as possible. It is not, will not do anything to prolong his life.

A lot of people don't properly understand this and is something you and your family need to wrap your heads around. Once on hospice, *anything* done to "prolong" his life—like calling 911 for any reason—will bounce him out of hospice and he'll need to requalify all over again. Probably not in time to do him any good.

[hug] I'm sorry.
