Guest guest Posted November 12, 1998 Report Share Posted November 12, 1998 To All: I received this, this morning and was wondering if someone in the group can help me send this person some help. ____________________________________ has been in hospital for over a month now and is soon to be moved to a paliative care facility. michael and his family are wanting as detailed information as they can possibly find as to what the cronology to death will progress like, from state to state -now needs help to eat (his hands can no longer control the use of utensils, the holding of a glass, picking up a phone, etc.). he can't walk. requires help to get from his bed to anywhere. if he leaves his room, it is by wheelchair. he can speak two or three word sentences (words become mumbles from there on). he sleeps a great deal. he can get quite aggitated. the last few days, he has begun to refuse to eat dinner (though he manages breakfast and lunch). -the doctors give him perhaps 5 months, but neither of his neurologists have ever treated a CJD patient _________________________________ If anyone can send me information to pass on to these people it would be greatly appreciated.
