Help or someone to get ahold of to bring her home comfortable and with hurting her please
It should be coordinated with the social workers in Flagstaff and Fresno.
This is end stage boney mets and this would be a horrifically painful trip with medications needed.
I would not delve into this, myself. This is for people on the scene and familiar with the friend either in Flagstaff or Fresno. Without family willing to do this trip and handle discharge from one facility and acceptance to another this is very problematic.
Also at issue here is whether this friend is self-paying or not. Because if governmental Medicaid programs are involved that presents further issues.
Leave this to family of the friend; and be supportive as a long distance friend to the level you can be. Sometimes moves like this are sort of end of life dreams that are not in real life possible due to issues of pain, logistics, staffing at a level to administer medications, and etc.
I doubt there is little you can do here but wish well, and I wish that to you all. I am sorry to hear of this dire diagnosis.
Sounds like she may need Hospice. They help with a bath aide but thats about it. In home, family does the 24/7 care. If fresno is where her insurance is, thats good, but if not...that becomes a problem. Insurances don't all transfer States.
No, she can't do this by car.
