Dave's mom is now basically in a vegetative state. She stares blankly but does not see. Her body experiences seizures, but she does not feel.
Her living will/advance directive indicates that she wishes no feeding tube, no hydration, and no heroic measures.
As soon as that clears the hospital's legal department, the fluids will be withdrawn.
Only morphine will be given so that the body feels nothing as it shuts down. Which it will probably do pretty quickly.
Please send good thoughts to the Bowen family.
