Eat some food yesterday doctor coming back on Monday to see what the next step is still quite out of it on drip and antibiotics
It's a horrible place to be.

Big hug to you.

Mum eat 2 meals and some drink yesterday doctor coming this morning to see mum perked up yesterday was more alert but still coughing a bit. Salt team said no more thickner in drinks as its not helping her lungs still got 2 days of antibiotics left thanks for all your help and kind thoughts
The district nurse is now on Dads case... but the emotional rollercoaster has taken its toll on me. SALT team & O/T hopefully will be going in at some point soon. Poor Dad still being left in lounge area to sleep in upright chair, but he’s on stronger pain relief- patches so small mercies!
The strength of the human spirit is amazing and it sounds as if your lovely mum has turned the corner. Fingers crossed for you both and look after yourself xx
Mum off drip salt team came and are happy with her going back to 2 thickner just waiting for the doctors to come
Mum did the same. She got a chest infection and ended up in hospital on a drip and IV antibiotics and I was told that she probably wouldnt survive, but she bounced back.
The capacity for people with dementia to hang on to life amazes me.
Dad was the same 6 months ago, pneumonia, heart attack, stroke, 3 falls while in hospital for 3 weeks. We were called in one night to say goodbye. It was horrendous but he came home and is still here with no memory of that time at all.
He is happy while I am an emotional wreck. What will be next. I just don't know but it's not doing me any good.

My husband got his wallet pickpocketed the day before our wedding! Cheekily the so & so bought a bikini in Australia- we didn’t have a honeymoon as he had no cards, or access to money!
He then asked me have you been buying swimwear from Australia.......
