my grandmother spent 6 weeks in a nursing home following a minor car accident in which she broke a few ribs and was very very emotionally touched by it. she is 74 years old and only weighs 75 lbs. she is a very fragile woman. she then was released from the nursing home on Tuesday may 9th. she was in wonderful condition, walking, talking and laughing. she was even able to walk around the grocery store for over an hour. my mother and i went to visit friday because she wasn't picking up the phone and we found her slumped over in her chair unresponsive and very dehydrated. we called 911 and she was rushed to the hospital. when she went to the hospital they found out she had a bowel obstruction. the surgeon came in and decided that if she went into surgery she would never make it out. now they had her on fluids, and oxygen at this point. they took her off fluids, kept her on oxygen and now she is just on morphine to make her comfortable...its been 2 days now and she still has not passed. is this ethically correct? i am trying to figure out how someone can just change so much in 3 days and its scary. thanks
