Hi all. Sadly dad lost his battle on the 13 August and we had is funeral last Friday. As you may know there has been much to do but now I'm starting to process things. In summary dad was diagnosed in 2013. Despite his slow decline he lived a happy life until about 10 weeks ago when his decline was rapid. I posted on here mid July to say that dad was suddenly experiencing many falls and was constantly walking up and down 24 hours. This was a very difficult time as poor dad was exhausted. Following another fall he ended up I. A and E. He was so aggiated, trying to get out of bed. He was eventrurally admitted to a ward. By this time it was difficult with food and drink but did manage bits. He continued to restless for a further couple of weeks. 10 days before he died we were called to hospital and told dad had vomited coffee ground blood and that he was a poorly nan. It was agreed that no invasive treatment should continue so IV drips stopped. They started morphing on a driver and overnight became unconscious. He was transferred to a palliatuve care ward where he passed after 5 days. His poor mouth looked so painful and I can't help but be tormented that he was thirsty. He was nil by mouth. I can't help thinking that once paljative care was suggested it was game over. Should we have challenged this really struggling to come to terms x
