Hi All
My dad seemed to have experienced a surge of energy today. He transferred to a nursing home on Saturday and has remained in bed, unable to feed himself, coughing when being given his thickened fluids, too weak to move himself , all things expected at the end of life stage really. This morning he was hoisted into his wheelchair for the first time and apparently managed to feed himself a little and support himself in the chair.
It all had gone horribly wrong by the time my sister arrived when he was totally distressed and crying out to be put back to bed though.
Has anyone else experienced this startling, if transient, improvement in their loved ones and if so is it a good sign that he may be starting to improve against the odds? If it's possible, I am more confused now then ever
