my grandma donatelli is dieing. she has dementia and has been getting progressively worse over the past year. over the last month, or so, she's had a couple falls and has been losing weight when there is none to lose. she is now 80lbs and on iv at the hospital. my grandpa called my mum today, crying, because they told him that grandma won't be going home with him ever again. not in so many words, but yeah. we went and saw her in the hospital a few hours ago. she's coherent enough but refuses to eat or drink and can't really get her words out. when my mum tried to feed her she would just say 'NO' in her strongest voice possible. she thinks if she refuses to eat they'll let her go home. that's all she wants, to go home. to be with grandpa.
