My mother in law is 83 years old. 4 weeks ago she complained of back pain and visited her doctor. She was given pain relief. Two weeks ago she was admitted to hospital with breathing difficulities but sent home after 24 hours. She then began vomiting. She has eaten or drunk hardly anything for 2 weeks, they have re admitted her twice, put her on a saline drip for 24 hours and sent her home. She is now back in hospital, fading before our eyes, no one seems willing to talk to us, she is still not eating or drinking but vomiting and they have taken her off the drip again. Any suggestions. I am afraid they have told her and she is keeping the truth from us and that is why they are being very vague ...
