I brought my mom to PRMC ER and she was admitted for pneumonia. She was moved to 5th floor for treatment. My mom had just turned 90 in August, and while she may have been 90, she lived by herself, still drove, went to church, met with friends for lunch and dinner, and was still sharp as a tack. On Tuesday, my mom's breathing was becoming more labored, and it appeared she was getting worse instead of better. The doctor came in and ordered more bloodwork, chest x-ray, and CT scan. The chest x-ray showed the pneumonia was getting worse instead of better, even with the strong IV antibiotics that were being used. My mom had pulmonary fibrosis and her lungs were struggling. The doctors suggested a bi-pap machine to help her breathe better and wanted to move her to the 3rd floor for more progressive care. My mom was moved to 3rd floor around 3:30pm, shift change and Kali and a student nurse came in and took excellent care fo getting her settled into her room and asking questions. My mom was on a high percentage of oxygen, and they tried the bi-pap machine on the 5th floor; however, my mom did not like it and would not use it. Kali and the student suggested she might do better with the Airvo machine, and we were talking to my mom to see if she would be open to trying after her lung CT. They took my mom to her lung CT and when she came back she as having extreme difficulty breathing from having to lie flat for the CT. My mom was struggling, and while the respiratory technicians were working with my mom, I spoke with the doctor in the hallway and asked him if they had the CT results back yet. He looked and said they weren't good, my mom was on 100% osygen and the next step would be intubation. Kali was out in the hallway with us at that time, and I told them both my mom would not want intubation. I went back into talk with my mom and told her what was happening, and while talking to my mom, Kali came in and heard us talking. My mom said she didn't want intubation, didn't want to suffer and, that she was ready to go home to the Lord. I asked Kali if they could make my mom comfortable to do that, and Kali explained to both of us what they would do, so we both understood. I told Kali that various family members would be arriving, and she told us to let her know when my mom was ready and get the respiratory technician to start the process of weaning off her oxygen, and she would make sure my mom was comfortable. When my mom was ready, my husband got Kali. When Kali came into the room, she looked at my mom and said, "C, are you ready to go to heaven?" My mom said yes, and the process was started. Kali was so compassionate to my mom, as well as me, my husband, my sister-in-law, and my 2 nieces (one in person and one on Facetime). She made sure my mom was comfortable, in no pain, and not suffering. She also brought in drinks and snacks for the family and told us to let her know if we needed anything. Kali was absolutely amazing, and she answered our questions with understanding and empathy. When my mom passed, Kali told us to take as long as we needed with her. I can't begin to explain how kind, extremely compassionate, and caring Kali was. While I was not expecting my mom to pass on that day, I'm so thankful my mom (and us) had Kali as a nurse. My mom made the brave choice to go home to the Lord, and Kali helped her to pass with comfort, grace, and dignity. For that, I'll be forever grateful and thankful to Kali.
