Hi all, it is a while sice I posted but I was wondering if anyone can shed some light on this.
Dad has mixed dementia Alzheimers and Lewy body. On Friday he just didn't wake up. He was fine on Thursday walking and talking. He had hallucinations and his sight was sometimes affected but he was Ok. We were managing him at home. With a bit of prompting he could feed himself etc
So Mum called the Dr on Friday and he was sent to hospital with suspected pneumonia but then his blood pressure suddenly dropped and we were told he wouldn't make it. He then rallied but he is very unresponsive. Can't walk, can barely talk his oxygen levels keep falling to 91 when they remove the oxygen but there is no infection on the chest xray. Brain scan is fine too.
We are seeing the consultant tomorrow but just wondering if anyone has experienced anything like this.
We weren't ready for this just yet. Thanks.
