asked

My mother is 72 years old and has a history of atherosclerosis, heart attack, high blood pressure, loss of one kidney, and peripheral vascular disease. She recently developed another aortic aneurysm and was hospitalized with acute ischemic bowel disease. She was told she is not a candidate for surgery. Currently, she is at home, in constant pain, and taking pain medication four times a day. What can we expect as her health deteriorates, and what can we do to make her comfortable?
