91 yr old father with end stage dementia and complete heart blockage has been on hospice for 2 months. I recently gave consent for the administration of Ativan. Immediately caused my father to sleep the majority of the time. Cyanosis in fingertips make it hard to get O2 readings. Symptoms of intermittent hypoxia. I am constantly second guessing if giving Ativan is right for him. It definitely keeps him calm as he is knocked out for most of the day. I understand he is near the end but do the benefits of Ativan outweigh the negatives at this stage?

With the recent Trump financial disclosures; I looked into Trump’s philanthropic activities and wasn’t exactly surprised by what I found. His own foundation got shut down due to his misuse of funds. No real traceable cash donations. The only time he gives up anything, such as land easements, is when he can benefit from it. Lousy president, lousy human, and a pathetic man.
