Dad's obviously very very poorly now, the pneumonia is getting worse and Mum's been called in to see the consultant tomorrow.
The nursing team have told me that there's not much that they can do for Dad now and it's now a question of what they do as regards future treatment.
Mum is obviously distraught as to Dad's situation and doesn't want him to suffer any more, but what can the hospital do? Has anyone else been in this situation at all?
I don't want Dad to be left to starve or have his hydration drip removed but I can't see him suffer any longer either...It feels like we're being presented with a situation akin to having a dog put down, I can't stand it & nor can my Mum...
