    He wants to restart treatment, but he's so weak. Plus, if they do it, it will only be once a month.They already said he's past the point that it will even extend his life by much.

    Other Care (Palliative care): FIL has decided he is going to refuse treatment and signed a DNR this morning at the hospital. He only wants to be made comfortable.

    Other Care (Hospitalization): Home health nurse came, noticed he was coughing up blood and had extreme chest pains. Called ambulance. Admitted to ICU. Dehydration again, and an infection in his lungs.
