So glad Dhiren is better,you must have been very worried. We’ve been through almost exactly the same thing. Dad went downhill over weekend with a hacking cough and soaring temperature, emergency doctor called out Sunday night and chest infection diagnosed. Antibiotics given the same day and much improved by today. What would we do without AB’s!

It's wonderful news, Sylvia. It also must be very reassuring to you that the home responded so quickly.
What would we do and where would we be without antibiotics. I'm so pleased that they worked their magic on Dhiren so speedily Sylvia. You must be relieved.X
Dhiren seems troubled. The home say he is much better. He may be, but I`m not happy about him.
I don`t know if it`s the aftermath of his infection [last dose of AB Monday morning 15/4], still having the antibiotic inside him, a downturn, or something else.
He still seems comfortable, his breathing is better, he is in no pain, but his smiles are forced and fleeting, his attention is momentary and then he switches off. He takes no pleasure in food treats I take and his facial expression is miserable.
I know it is a waiting and watching game. I still have much to be thankful for. I just need to record this in case.

Anti-biotics always leave their mark. Even if they get rid of the infection. 15/4 is not long ago.
That's the hard bit isn't it? The physical problems we can try to fix, the emotional problems remain out of our reach.
I hope you see an improvement on your next visit.

I hope it's not permanent Sylvia. It's a worry I know as we are always looking for signs that things are changing. You had such happy photos so recently and I hope so much that you have more of the same very soon. xxx
Maybe he needs more time to recover, maybe he's having a bad day. It could be anything. Try to take things as they come.
