The family have also asked if there are some things that may happen out of the ordinary that they should be
prepared for. Virginia lets them know about some of the uncommon uncontrollable events prior to death such as
hemorrhage and seizure. With hemorrhaging Virginia recommends having dark towels on hand to use and that there
is a medication (SC Midazolam) that they will be taught to give. With a seizure the family is advised on how a seizure
may look and for them to try to remain calm, not leave, move or restrain Mr. Thompson, have side rails and bumper
pads on the bed, speak gently and reassuringly, and to then to call for help if needed.
