I , we have managed him as best as we could and Yogi has done fair..he has been on corticosteroids most of his life, so on his little 5 lb frame, he now weighs 8 lbs....The last year and a half, his quality of life has quickly declined...he is breathless with minimal exertion. He appears to be in pain with walking. He is now incontinent daily, because he can't make it to the potty pads in time..he had a BM in his bed this morning. He lays around most of the day now and it's breaking my heart knowing where this is going.. His heart is enlarged which is common for chronic respiratory problems...I guess I just needed to post this in a place where I know others have emotionally been before to understand...I am fighting tears today, because when I start they don't stop .I am with him daily, so I know him well...I know I will have the answer I need when the time comes..until then I constantly pray for that wisdom... |
I feel your pain, I have had to make these decisions more times then I care to remember, they are hard, painful ones. What ever decision you make, lil Yogi will remain in your heart forever. I will keep you and your lil boy in my prayers to give you strength to do what needs to be done when that time comes.
