Palliative Care – This Sucks

Eirik’s breathing continues to worsen and the life support is high. His kidneys are dancing on the edge. Yesterday, the doctors suggested we start talking to the palliative care team. His doctor said we are starting to enter a grey area – are we really helping him, or just hurting him? He is too ill for transport to a transplant clinic….even if one would take him. If you want to visit UNMH, please do.

  1. Eirik and Monica, I’m sending love and all the good vibrations and hoping you get through this, and get well 💖

  2. This is all so terrible. I know you’re asking for donations; what else can people do? (Is there an address to send cards/etc)?

    1. You can send cards to us at 5105 Valentino St. NW, 87120. Do not send flowers, my allergies/asthma are bad enough right now.

      1. Thank you. Are you comfortable if I shared this address with others or directed them to get the address from this post?
