Dad is at the end of his fight with interstitial lung disease. Kidneys are failing hospice nurse says. No significant food or water for 2 days. He can t really swallow well. Yesterday we started .25 doses of liquid morphine every 2 hours or as needed. So far except for sleep times that is what we have used. Today, this afternoon, about 7, he began muscle contractions or tremors, myoclonus, I guess. I read that that was normal at this stage, but Mom was worried and called his caregiver in and she gave him two more quick doses of the morphine, saying it was pain. I disagree. It is involuntary. So since 6:30est he has had three doses. His tremors increased it seems. We gave him a little ativan and he is finally settling down. Harriet the caregiver and mom and sister are outside talking now. As she left, she said keep giving hims this...pointing out the morphine. And the ativan. If he doesn t settle down. I disagree with the morphine, but think another low dose ativan wouldn t hurt if he doesn t says asleep. Your opinion?
