My grandma is in the hospital with pneumonia in both lungs even though she had the pneumonia shot. She is in really bad shape. She is so confused and delusional. Her blood oxygen level was at 73% when she got to the hospital. It makes her really loopy when her oxygen levels drop. Even now that they are back up to normal she is still delusional. She had to be restrained in her bed because she keeps pulling out all of the things attached to her. I really don't think she is going to make it through this. She is 87 and has been going down hill for a long time. I know she has wanted to rejoin my grandpa since he passed a little over 9 years ago. My dad was asked at the hospital if he wanted to sign a do not resuscitate(DNR) on her. In her living will it says that she would like a DNR. My dad called his sister and asked for her advice. She said she would leave the decision up to my dad. I think it was pretty shitty for her to put him in that position. My aunt deals with all of the easy stuff with my grandma and leaves all the crap to my dad. He went to the hospital tonight and he didn't put the DNR on her records. I know it is hard for him and he doesn't want to feel guilty for letting her die but I really think it is for the best and it was her wishes. I love her so much but it is really hard to watch her suffer. I just want her to have peace.

she wants the DNR but your dad didn't do it??? that makes no sense....
I am realllly sorry to hear that she is sick :( Hugs!
Where it says she wants a clause that is open to some interpretation and my dad is making himself feel guilty of making this decision even though we all know it is what she would want.
