Dear Sylvia, I hope Dhiren recovers rapidly. It is good that the home jumped on things right away, instead of waiting.
My love to both of you.
My love to both of you.
I'm sorry to hear Dhiren is unwell Sylvia. I hope the AB's kick in quickly.
I can see why you have such trust in the care the home provides - it does help knowing they care enough to spot changes and act quickly.

Dear Sylvia,
So sorry to see that Dhiren has another chest infection, but pleased to see how quickly the care home picked up on it. I hope he begins to feel much better soon.
Do you mind my asking - were you able to keep your same GP when Dhiren entered the care home? Or did you have to switch to another more local to the home?
Love, Nan XXX

Dear Sylvia
Very sorry to read about Dhiren's chest infection and I do hope the ABs do their work and he makes a quick recovery.
It does sound an excellent care home, and you have such a good rapport with management and owners which makes such a diference .Excellent that the Deputy Manager gratefully accepted a copy of Compassionate Communication.
Love

Hello Nan
Dhiren has a new GP who is GP to all residents in the home. I made an appointment to see him at his surgery, to introduce myself and tell him I would like to be consulted about any important issues.
He agreed there would be no intervention other than to relieve pain and discomfort and if Dhiren did need to attend any clinic it would be by ambulance rather than wheelchair taxi.
I was able to explain Dhiren is now afraid of going out even into the garden of the home and we should do everything possible to accommodate his fears.
It really helped me to meet this new GP and I think it was good for him too. At least he knows me now and I know he is a GP who cares.

Sorry to hear about Dhiren, but glad that he has been started on the ABs. With the best will in the world, it is difficult to keep the bugs away at this time of year.
Hope the ABs take effect very soon. x

Thankyou Folks.
You are all so kind.
Dhiren`s infection doesn`t seem too bad and hopefully has been nipped in the bud. He seems comfortable enough , just more confused.

I told the owner how impressed I was no one had suffered much this winter. Everyone had flu jabs but most carers are parents of young children who are bringing coughs and colds from school.

Hello Sylvia, Just dropped in to share a bit of music with you all on another thread and obviously just had to check your thread.
I am really sorry to learn Dhiren has another chest infection. They are so nasty but thankfully the ABs seem to take care of them quite quickly. Hope so in Dhiren's case.
My husband suffers such a lot with them, but half the time the doctor says the infection is not on the chest but in the tract. He has so much phlemn all the time that he chokes a lot even when he is just sitting quietly. Much worse when he attempts to eat. He is on all the various medication for the condition but nothing seems to do the trick. Just part of the strokes they tell us.
It is always a joy to read your thread even though I do not manage to keep up with it all and you are such an inspitation to so many of us. Hope you are now well again yourself.
Take care
Love X
