Re: My dad is really ill

You should get him into hospital for blood tests. My mum was like that two years ago and she was really ill. The hospital will have to arrange a care plan before he can go home, so your mum will get some help, or they will get him into a hospice. Good luck, fingers crossed for you. I lost my dad on Christmas Day in 1990 and I still can't get into the Christmas spirit.

I don't think my dad will be here much longer - he looks dreadful can't eat much has lost weight - can't walk can't talk

My mum just spoke to me and she is thinking of a care home for him as we are all worn out caring for him - we are cleaning him up day and night - my mum looks exhausted and she is 84 next year . It's breaking my heart all of it .

Re: I think my dad is dying

What an emotional meeting on Tuesday , the last time we saw my uncle and auntie was 46 years ago, i found them on facebook because my dad wanted to see his sister and brother again.
I have been chatting with them both for over a year now and when my auntie sent me a private message saying she was coming to England and wanted to come see my dad i was so excited .
Anyway it went so well and although my dad is very very poorly he looked so happy on the pics .

Will post one later of the three of them you can see the joy in their faces , they never wanted to go and we were all crying and hugging . My auntie wants to visit again this year if she can , its a long way from California.
I've been invited to go visit and go to Disneyland the original along with my family x

Re: I think my dad is dying

That's a long time for them not to have seen their brother. It's sure to be very emotional x

Yes for me too because i remember as a little girl going to Dunstable Downs with my uncle funny how we remember stuff lol .
We're waiting for test results now from the hospital , but my dad was a little better last night wonder if the drip gave him some energy x

Re: I think my dad is dying

you need to see if the hospital social worker can help in getting help for you, ask the therapist what is available, or where you can go for advice, contact th local Parkinsons association they can be a wealth of help, as can Age UK. I wish you well xxx

Thanks i will do on Thursday , my brother will phone them he is quite bossy lol x

I think any help now will come under medical for your dad, so social may not want to help?
