My grandfather was sent home from the hospital last week after a 3 week stay. He has been placed on hospice care, he has CHF. He has dealt with this for the last 15 years but it looks like we are running out of time with him. I was wondering if anyone has been through this with anyone? If so, can you tell me some of the things to look for?
Yes, we have had great qualtiy time. Grandpa was the song leader at church for more years than I can remember and we always sang when the family got together. We were able to do that one more time, a moment in my live I will forever remember. He has lapsed into a semi-coma state and we are just trying to make him comfortable for his last journey.
Thank you for your thoughts and prayers.

hi i was just reading your post im sorry for you and your family and yes i went through this with my grandpa to everytime this would happen he would have to go to the hospital and get tubes put in his chest or given a medication to help as far as things to look for im not sure everyone is different but im sure if they put him on hospice like you said your running out of time im sorry that you have to go threw this and my prayers go out to your family...My best advise is to google what to expect from CHF that might give you better answers...good luck ..Gina
Well... All I can say and wish you and your family has spend as much quality time with him the days months to come as possible, and remember it is important to him to feel be loved by you all, and it is important to you to be able to remember him and that time with the comforting feeling you did everything what you could do for him.
Let him talk, talk to him, listen to him listen with interest all he has to say, if he wants something get it for him if it is possible, your last chance, that’s all we can do, the rest is not up to us.
It was a women here recently, her mother-in-law died short after she posted about her, but who knows he might have much more time, it can happen.
Be kind and patient to him that’s all you can do.
