My mum had an infection last week, they thought the meds affected her and she had a turn, the Carehome had ambulance out twice in the week, but after the of duty Dr said they would take mum to hospital for tests, the paramedic Dr over ruled, the Dr saw mum next day and palliative care now is the situation. The home has standby injections as dr wants to keep lockdown.
We have been allowed in for short visits.
It's a hard situation, as still I am in denial, as mum didn't seem to be that bad.
Now she is in bed on fluids, she looked so out of it yesterday, but I chatted as if she was still able to reply, her eyes did meet mine and she managed weak smiles.. Very difficult to stop thinking she could be better if not on morphine, but I have been told her pain from her hip has become very bad and she had stopped eating before.
They are very good at her home, but still I worry she will be left alone as they are thin on ground and busy.
Doesn't matter I have been preparing myself for months.. Its still so hard.
