Hi, this is my first time of writing. My dad has late stages Alzheimer's. He is now confined to his bed. He is unable to move and his legs are now becoming bent (which I imagine is as described as the foetal position). He has the most amazing care. We have a carer who has been with him now for nearly 6 years. I'm sure that any other care would by now have resulted in his death. But his carer is exceptional. Since Oct last year he has deteriorated. We had a meeting with his gp about palliative care, but unfortunately my sister is worried that his thoughts are that of cost cutting. His advice was that antibiotics should now be withheld. I'm really struggling and feeling guilty because I believe this is the right decision. But our main fear is that he will suffer in his last days. He is prone to chest infections as he is an asthma sufferer. Does anyone have experience of withholding antibiotics? Please someone help. xx
