URGANT ADVICE REGARDING DIALYSIS

Hey thanks for stopping by.

I am in need of urgant advice, i support a gentleman with Austim and recently had some bad news regarding his health,

They have said he has a month to live but could get better with Dialysis. the problem is, he will not allow anyone to use a needle on him, to get bloods last time he had to be sudated under GA.

The hospital have said they can not do this for Dialysis.

Has anyone experienced this or have any idea on how we can get around the problems.

I do not want to give up on the idea we can get this done

    He lacks mental capacity and is not interested in aiding in the decision making process. So sadly decisions are been made for him.

    I think with a lot of work we could get him hooked up but he will need to be hooked up for 3-4 hrs 3-4 times a week. and if he decides to stop at any point he would get up there and then, but half his blood would be out of his body

    So it is down to make him comfortable at home or try and if it fails he would meet his end faster and in distress
