Grandma is in ICU, no one's giving us a timeline.
My grandma 74F broke her leg 2 months ago. She got the surgery and everything, but she absolutely refused to get out of bed or move even when she could. She has been bedridden since she broke her leg. Keep in mind that she is also diabetic and has arrhythmia
Being bedridden has caused bedsores, stage 4. The bedsores were infected and still are even though Drs operated on those bedsores and cut off all of the necrosis. She was supposed to stay in the hospital for 1-2 weeks minimum, but she absolutely refused to and we had to discharge her AMA in 5 days.
Couple of days later, her vitals were not good, so we had to readmit her asap. We got told she has sepsis but she was okay until Tuesday. She has been on a breathing machine since Wednesday, she hasnt eaten or drank water in days. She is fully unconscious, Dr tried to wake her up today, but she wouldn't wake up.
We've always had the closest relationship and she absolutely refused to let me visit while she was lucid since readmitting. because she knew I would take it harder than anybody else.
I saw her today and I was freaked out about the fact that her face is completely swollen and she doesn't look like herself anymore. I know it's from the fact that she doesnt urinate much anymore, but it was still shocking.
Doctors are telling us "it all depends on her" so we have been panicking like this for weeks now. Sometimes she was better, sometimes she was worse. She hasnt ever been this bad before and we are being prepared by Dr's that she will pass.
My whole family has become paranoid because we don't have a time frame and we expect a call every second. I dont think any of us have slept normally for the past week. We realize that she will pass, not knowing when is the hardest part.
Any advice and any experience will be very much so appreciated.
