She is not responding to the antibiotic IV in the hospital. She is on
a IV drip of fluid and (I presume) nutrition also.
The hospital doctor spoke with Dad and they discussed options
including ending the IV system and antibiotic intervention.
Mom is "non responsive" and unable to sit up and drink or take
nourishment by mouth.
Dad and I and doctor are meeting at bedside tomorrow around 11 AM to
discuss ending of all intervention and starting hospice.
Hospice means, among other things, palliative care only, comfort
care, no intervention, ending in death.
