My mom is nearing 80 and has a complicated medical history that we’ve worked to unravel over the past three years. She’s had a stroke, has diabetes, and has a heart condition. She’s wheelchair bound and nearly blind.

The past week she’s been sick. I called non emergency this evening and they dispatched an ambulance. In addition to her symptoms, her vitals were highly concerning and they told her they recommended she go to get checked out and that they were not comfortable leaving her. As lethargic and miserable as she is, she was still able to stubbornly refuse and they left. She also refuses to go to her primary care doctor.

Do we have any options here or we just have to wait until she’s too unresponsive to make any decisions?

I know this is the opposite of what many people hope for (getting stuck at a train lol) but I’m crossing my fingers someone knows of any trains that might pass on a predictable schedule.

My two year old and I drove parallel to a train on Hartford last night and then he asked for more choo choo for 45 minutes.
