Life expectancy for my grandma...please read!?!
Question: Life expectancy for my grandma...please read!.?
It is a complicated and long story, but my grandma is dying in the hospital with a whole list of life threatening problems, the most recently discovered being end stage kidney failure. I think she is going to try dialysis. I am 38 weeks pregnant and my parents say she is trying to live to see pictures of my baby once she is born(she is in CA and I am in CO so can't see her in person). She is in her mid to late 80's. Does anybody know how long someone that old with tons of other problems can make it with this kidney disease.? Couldn't really find any info online, as I know it depends on many factors.Health Question & Answer

I honestly believe, based on what you said, that she can hang on that long. My immediate concern is the pneumonia. So, if she can kick that, she will probably be okay for the immediate future.Health Question & Answer

You never know the power of the human mind she could hold on that long I guess.But please don't let what is going on with your grandmother stress you out it is not good for the baby and your baby is the most important one in this situation stress can cause early delivery which isn't good all kinds of things can happen if your baby is early even just a few short weeks can make a big difference.I know my son was induced early and it caused him to have some problems too much to mention here so please don't let all this stress you out .Good Luck with all that's going on.Health Question & Answer
