My dad got admitted to the Hospice on Wednesday this week after refusing to go to the Hospice as he was getting more and more ill at home despite us caring for him. 

Dad has B Cell lymphoma and is terminal the Drs at the Hospice have said he has days left if that. It’s been so painful sitting every day since Wednesday watching him suffer it’s awful and horrifiy painful watching a parent dying. Since dad had the syringe driver put in on Monday he’s got progressively more sleepy and dosey and since the hospice upped the doses of his driver meds including the pain med and sedative he’s just sleeping all the time and since yesterday he’s not really responsive and not talking at all. It’s awful why are the meds doing this to him? I feel the Hospice are just drugging him up it’s like my dads gone now he cant even speak now or move he’s just asleep but breathing. The dr told me it’s because his liver is probably failing and he’s not processing the meds properly and his cancer has also maybe got worse which is taking its process in the background. Does anyone else feel that when somebody goes on the syringe driver and the meds get upped in the hospice that they just drug the patient up until they pass away? It’s awful to witness I’m tortured by this week seeing dad like this.
