He has late stage demenentia, he had bladder cancer and he just had a heart attack with some kidney damage. They sent him to hospice and I was giving him ensure thru a straw and he aspirated several times. His condition has worsened with rapid shallow breathing and they said he’s going to pass. Could my feeding him have caused this due to aspiration??
It is possible that aspiration occurred because food or liquid probably was going either directly or partially into his lungs.
There's no way you could have caused this; it occurs within the throat area.
I was with my mom on the last day of her life. I don't know if she could hear me or not, but I said everything I wanted to say and I was at peace when she passed. {{{Hugs}}}
