My mom is in the hospital due to a combination of a stroke and an aneurysm. She is now brain dead, we just found out she had a DNR, we let the hospital know to honor her wishes but because it was never signed by her or by the family the hospital cannot honor her wishes. What can we do?
But you have every right to ask this question of the treating doctors.
I'm sorry to learn of this challenging and sad situation, and wish peace for you and all your family during the difficult time.
I'm terribly sorry.
God Bless!
Are they actually proposing any treatment or management that you disagree with? - or, more to the point, that you believe your mother would have withheld her consent to?
I am so sorry that you and your family are having to go through this. I hope and pray that your mom will go peacefully, and that God will give you His peace and comfort for the days, and weeks ahead. God bless you.
Surely there should be something that can be done about her DNR status.I think her doctor needs to sign it .Sending my prayers to you and your dear mother,
I don’t know what the protocol for this is. Have you reached out to the hospital social worker? I suppose that I would start there.
Stick around for more answers. Again, I am so sorry that you are in this situation. I wish you peace as you navigate your way through this challenging time in your lives.
