Video Transcript: Mesothelioma Victim Stays in the Comfort of Home Instead of Hospice
He was in the hospital for a few weeks, and then one of the doctors suggested that we could put him in hospice care. But, we figured it was better for him to be at home. My mom got a hospital bed, and set it up in the family room. The family was in and out all of the time. I have four nephews, so they visited quite frequently.... at least three of them who were in the area. I have a brother and a couple sisters who would visit regularly. Aunts and uncles would come and visit. And I think that is why mom put him in the family room: so he could have a lot of visitors and be a part of what was going on every day, rather than being in the bedroom, closed off. So he always had visitors around.
