All Patti has to do is tell the oncologist that is attending Ken that she needs help, she does not know what to do, she needs support and strength and help, and they will get a social worker or a case manager and someone from hospice ...there is an army of staff trained to help families at this critical point...it always gets to this point, and they are there for her and Ken. I certainly do hope they have a wonderful, caring, well trained hospice staff...they will be invaluable for Patti now...both Ken and Patti need support and guidance from this point forward...the social worker or case manager will be consulted by the attending to step in. I am sure a minister or pastor will also be summoned to give prayful support...he will be able to calm some of Kens fear and restlessness.... |
