Message for WOYWW-ers – sorry folks, there are simply loads of wonderful comments from you all on my blog, awaiting moderation – I promise I’ll get to them eventually but won’t be visiting many blogs this week I’m afraid.
My dad is in hospital. He went in Wednesday afternoon. My hubby spent Tues. night with my parents as he went downhill again during the day and Mum called us again in the evening. They had the emergency doc again in the night, and his regular GP on Wed. a.m., and he signed papers to get Dad admitted straight away. My hubby took him in, and today (Fri. p.m.) we went to see him and he’d just been admitted to the ward after being assessed in A&E. He’s on a drip and looking very frail, but his colour is a bit better. His speech seems a bit slurred and he’s still rather confused. Not sure how long he’ll be in.
Mum coping more or less OK at home on her own but we’re popping in and keeping an eye on things.
GP and hosp. are arranging for proper care after he comes home, and OT assessment etc. I’m very glad the professionals are aware of their situation now, and involved in helping improve their lives.
I’ll be replying to all your lovely blog comments in due course. It’s been a busy day today and I’m likely to be fairly exhausted in the days to come, and not sure how much we’ll be in and out.
Thank you everyone for your support in whatever form you are able to give it – love, hugs, concern, shared experiences, advice, practical suggestions, and above all, prayers. God bless you all.
We're thing of you Shoshi.Glad the assessments have bben done and OT support is available.

ReplyDeleteSorry to hear that your dad took a turn for the worse, Shoshi, but I'm glad he's in good hands now. I hope he continues to improve and regain his strength. Best wishes!
ReplyDeleteHi Hun, Im thinking of you, You know I went through the same thing with mum, hope he picks up soon and you get lots of help with a good care package when he gets home.
ReplyDeleteHe is entitled to 6 weeks care free, if it is needed when he comes out of hospital.
Make sure they get it even if it is only a check call just to make sure they are both coping when he gets home, it will put your mind at rest.
BIG HUGS
