I haven't posted for a wee while as things were manageable with the extra carers support given for my husband. But since last month my husbands health began to downhill a bit, 2 utis and a chest infection. It seemed like he was on constant antibiotics. On 4th November he really seemed bad so I called the doc My husband was admitted hosp that same day. Routine Covid test done - result positive. He was put on iv antibiotics and also needed oxygen. Further blood tests were done a few days later which showed inflammation and he was started on that strong steroid 'DEXAMETHASONE' for 5 days treatment. This was really making an improvement, so much so, that he managed to slowly come off the oxygen and plans were made to transfer him to a nursing home to convalese, build up his appetite, get physio to help his swallow etc. Then the day before this was due to happen, I got a dreadful phone call to say he'd deteriated suddenly. The docs suspected that my husband had developed a massive clot on his lung. They were giving him the max amount of oxygen that they could and he was back on iv fluids. This awful thing happened just last Friday(20th) He's too weak for any invasive treatments, his breathing is so laboured. My girls and I are allowed to visit him at any time now, and I'm sure he knows we are there even tho he can't open his eyes or anything. We just constantly talk to him. I never ever thought that I would be saying goodbye so soon. As I said I just feel so numb, like this is not really happening xx Wee Dido
