I don't know about the decision in this case... speculating is pointless. In other cases I've seen (both here and abroad) when the doctor and patient determine what the best course of action is, and that it really doesn't matter in that equation if the patient sleeps in the hospital or somewhere more comfortable... then they have the freedom to choose the most appropriate course of action and give consideration to comfort as well.
