A terrible way to end this long journey

bruceb

My Dear Wife has ended her long hard fight with this terrible disease at 61 years old. I had to  put her in a nursing home back in late August ended up in hospital with pneumonia never showing any signs upon her going to rehab she just got weaker so I had to place her long term. The nursing home that I placed her at was one my dad and stepmother has lived there  since Jan and they like it as well as you except. Last month the wheels came off  though. My dad has been in the hospital for 3 weeks with kidney failure, pneumonia and now full blown dementia. He begged that they take him to a hospital because he wasn't feeling well and new something was wrong they would not send him because his stats were ok 2 days later they rush him to hospital. His kidneys had shut down and full of fluid and hard time breathing put on a vent in spent 2 weeks in ICU. 2-3 days after they took him the facility had major covid outbreak. My wife was one of the first group to test positive with 4 residence and 5 staff. 10 days later they had 61 residents and 28 employees test positive. So they put my wife in the covid hall for quarantine 12 days and had difficult time getting updates on her condition but they always said she was showing no signs and got out and sent to the observation hall. Two days later I got a call while at work that she had a heart attack and was being sent to hospital. When I got to hospital they took me to a family room and I knew what was coming next. The Dr came in and told me to come back and say my last goodbyes she was on a vent and had only a faint pulse and did not think she would make it to much longer. Two hours later came back and said along with the heart attack her lungs were full of covid and that she had a small brain bleeding. Suggest that we take her off the life support and let her pass or send her to another hospital that could maybe help with the brain bleed. We did the right thing and let her go no one should have to go through all this horror. Sorry for rambling on.  PS now my step mother has covid to boot it never ends

Bruce ...I'm so sorry for your loss..

My 64 year old wife is in the final hours/days of her life. Her LTC has taken every precaution, still 5 staff members tested positive and 3 residents... My last test has expired    ..Im on the testing list for  today . If I don't get results soon ??

All residents, and staff are tested every 7 days ..I live in Canada and we're having many issues with the Vaccine delivery ..LTC homes are number one priority and its painfully slow.

This is too too much. I am so sorry for everything that you are going through. Please accept my condolences on the loss of your wife. Please be selfish with yourself - you've been through and are going through so much. Time for yourself is needed.
