She got uo in the night and couldnt breathe the ambulance came aaid chwst infection put her on oxygen..blood pressure low tbey gave her a shot of adrenaline in a and e then moved to ward once ahe stabalised. Her breathing got qorse ahe was on oxygen but tbey stopoed anti biotics and offered pallative care. She couldnt breathe they said no to a centilator. Sge died teo days later i feel they gave up on her.

Sorry to hear your mum has died. It is not a nice experience

I hope you managed to be with her when she died. My mother died in similar circumstances. Trouble is your lungs reach a point when there is not much more they can do. The increased work the heart has to do cant cope and your body just gives up. It is very sad. Take good care of you all. You have my sympathy. Lots of love xx

So sorry to hear of the loss of your mum.maybe when you have had some time to come to terms with what has happened you can go back to the hospital and ask for more detailed information as to what happened and why they made the decisions they did,they have been known to fail people in the past and you deserve explanations................love and sympathy to you and your family.......................skis and scruffy x
