My father in law has pneumonia, high blood pressure, high pulse rate, and fever. He has had it at least since last Wednesday when they took him to the hospital. At first they were giving him oxygen, and antibiotics, and IV’s. As of yesterday, they have put him on what is called "COMFY CARE". They took him off the antibiotics, and IVs, and all of his medication. Unless he shows signs of pain, then they will give him morphine (which will cut back his lung capacity), and that will cause him to die a lot faster. It is just a matter of time now.
I sat in my father-in-laws hospital room all night, and will do the same today because he is now at the end of his life. We have not seen him in the last 3 years, but 3 times until now.
Why were they not taking care of him and seeing to it that he was moved around so that his body wasn't getting so stiff as it is now? Why did they let him just sit in one building and ignore the cries that he made to be home and with his family?
All I can think of is -

I am so sorry for the years of isolation and suffering inflicted on your father-in-law, you and your family by others.
ReplyDeleteWe are thinking of you and praying for you during this difficult time.
You asked where are the guardians and the attorneys now? (I will be kind in my response out of respect to you).
My guess is they have $$$ on their minds. They have positioned themselves in probate rotation for the next guardianship appointment.
And, they are very busy with their calculators preparing their fees and billing for their services for court approval.
God is watching and He is waiting. And, your father-in-law will be present when those individuals in positions of trust, who took advantage of him and abused him are facing their final judgment day.
Today the court investigator came in search of me at the hospital, to see if we the family could come up with the money to pay for $4,000.00 worth of my father-in-laws funeral, and be reimburst when the check from his pension plan comes in. Now is that not adding insult to injury? They have used every penny, except for $1,200.00 that the guardian of the person put in the court registry for my father-in-law. And that is money that she got for sueing Phil and his attorneys for now showing up for a hearing. She put the rest in her pocket.
ReplyDeleteThank you all for your prayers.
I will keep you posted.

Yes, the guardian and attorneys have moved on to another victim now that JP is no longer of worth to them.
ReplyDeleteIt's outrageous that now that he's at death's door, now -- finally, you're allowed to see him. I don't know how to put this in proper words to express my thoughts -- For three years when he wanted and needed his family, he was denied. For three years, he wanted to go home and was denied. For three years, he was alone.
Now that he is truly going home, he's allowed some precious time with his beloved family.
Why now? It's the same thing Mary Connors went through -- she fought and fought for her Mom's freedom, spending every ounce of her energy to save her -- and on her Mom's deathbed,the guardian then decided to give Mary's Mom back to her.
This is another pattern -- guardians malign the family and gain isolation, usually accusing the family of potential harm to the Ward. But, when the Ward is taking his/her last breaths, suddenly the family becomes OK (no longer labeled as potential harm) and is allowed unfettered access to their loved one? It's just another thing about guardianship abuse that doesn't make sense.
I am glad you are with JP to help him through this journey, Kim. At least he can physically look at you and your family and know you've been with him all along in spirit ---as we are with you.
Amen!
