Support needs for End of Life Care
Donation protected
Hi, My mom, Susan Christiano or Lady Guendalina of Lady Guendalina's closet, is to be transitioned to Comfort care or End of Life Care on Tuesday. as you may know, she's had some health issues in the past few months. Still, on Friday the 15th, she was admitted to the hospital. First, they found her potassium was high, and then her kidney and liver started to fail. Kidneys could be treated with dialysis, but the liver function is hard to replace. At this point, the doctor had told us her best-case scenario was to be bed bound in a nursing home for the rest of her life, if that. As her healthcare proxy, I had to make a difficult decision. Because we all know my mom, She was such a free spirit, a stubborn woman who loved her independence. She would hate the quality of life this would leave her with. Emotionally and mentally, I am not dealing well with this, and Financially, I need a little help. My partner Rob has been my rock from Nashville, but I know I can't handle losing my mom without him here. Any extra made will go to expenses towards what mom would want. Please, even if you can't donate, if you could share and spread the word, it would mean the world.
