What Is The Life Expectancy Of Patient With Heart Attack And Pneumonia?

My Gran aged 72 suffered from her 6 & 7th heart attacks consecutively 2 weeks ago. She has her 5th back in august of this year. At which point her heart was down to 37%. She now also has kidney failure and pneumonia. They have begun her end of life care at hospital. She has stopped eating all solids now and barely has a few sips of water or what they have prescribed for nutrition in the form of a milkshake.. She is being kept on morphine and another heavy drug to keep her quote sedated. How long will she be alive? It s horrible to see her suffering this way
