Actually the update was they moved him to a hospice type setting but the type where they have medical equipment. I forgot what they call them Equipment to keep someone alive I mean. Hospice is a little different. Usually those are more like nursing homes kinda as far as the setting. At least my moms was like that


I can speak on this. My mom had a brain aneurysm, massive, no brain activity, no hope. Her sister wanted to fly down and see her so we decided to keep her on life support for a day or two against my best judgment. The hospital told us we had to move her to hospice to do so because they can’t admit her or keep her in the er in that condition. We had to move her to hospice for the night and next day. Keep in mind she had no brain activity and her body could not sustain life on its own. So yeah, I can see why they would move him to hospice even if there is no brain activity.

I can speak to this also. My MIL had a brain bleed that ceased all brain function except in the brain stem. They kept her alive on a ventilator until we flew to Florida from Texas. We said our goodbyes and she was gone within 20 minutes of the removal of the breathing tube.

Something we saw with my late MIL was that the hospital didn't want her to die in their care they really, really wanted her to go to a facility where deaths happened a lot.
And that's what happened. We barely got her there 36 hours before she passed. My demented FIL was so impressed with the dining room there that he was looking forward to going there to eat.
