Coma judgment making.?
am put in the situation where my mom is contained by a coma on life-support and it has come time to make a ruling to pull the plug or not. This decision falls to me b/c I am the oldest of 4 girls and the others are adjectives under-age. I feel like it might be the best entity to take her off life-support, I know that if it be me I wouldn't want to be kept alive that way. But I don't know how my sisters will react. Has anyone here have to make a decision for someone within a coma? What's your story? Please share and tell me the after-affects of your decision any way.
Answer: You do not state what age your Mother is? Likewise are her Parents alive? Does she have brothers, sisters? What almost your Father. I am sorry if you think I am being inquisitive, but I had to make this decree for my Uncle! It got a bit weird, as his brothers be all dead, along next to his Parents. The only living member, my Mother, but it fell to me! I got a wee bit annoyed at the Doctor who said 'Your Mother has nil to do with this, she is only related through wedding ceremony, your are next of kin, blood kin!' It was 3am and I be tired think I replied 'She is my Mother, his Sister in directive and in my opinion have as much right as I do, so if you do not mind, I will talk with MY MOTHER!' Doctors tend to stick to the LAW, a bit than what I call Family. Therefore you need to contact adjectives 'living' members of your Mother's Family, parents, brothers, sisters, even brother, or sister in regulation let alone your Mother's Husband, or your Father. The law states Blood Relative, but explicitly the law and this final decision have to be run past living members of her Family, out of respect if nought else. You will still have the final decision, but if surrounded by three months time, a sibling comes to see you, well they will hold you fully responsible, for life!
No different later you making the same decision for one of your own sisters, lacking telling the other two sisters!
Thankfully I still live with my Mother and we enjoy this 'what-if' conversation on a monthly basis. I know my Mother does not want any life support electrical device, and she knows my feelings. However my elder siblings have never asked, live in the four corners of the Planet, so should it surface, I feel I do not have to contact them, as I know my Mothers yearning and she mine. As for how you explain it to your sisters, well it is a 'quality' over 'quantity' of life issue? I do not know what type of soul your Mother is? Perhaps she hated being not a hundred percent, hated being stuck within bed, perhaps she liked to shift shopping, seeing friends, playing with your siblings? Therefore, say she woke up tomorrow but would enjoy to remain ventilated forever and in bed forever, would this be the standard of life she would want for herself? She could have the level, live like this for 20 years, but her quality?
The after affects of my finding? Well the Hospital changed the rules of engagement, so while the law states blood relative, they now ask you to ask as lots Family members as possible. They hold a Family Conference! Best of Luck
It would depend on the reason for why she is contained by a coma. If she is in a vegatative state then I would verbs the plug. The thing is, that whether you pull the plug or not she will still die. There are more things that can and probably will move about wrong like severe infections, pressure ulcers and so forth. It is no bearing to live for your mother or you girls. You have already lost her, why continue the dull pain.
i'm sorry. do wat u think ur mom would want.
