I was keen for him to be seen in the hope that he would get a more holistic approach to his care. However, I am now torn between spending time with him in there and trying to take advantage of the fact I can now leave the house. </p> <p>Things seem to have taken a sharp turn for the worst over the last 3 weeks and each day brings its own new challenges. He started taking oxygen today and was also given some antibiotics to tackle a potential chest infection. By this evening he seemed much brighter. </p> <p>My rather too blunt GP said some very distubing things last week, suggesting that the end is rather closer than I had dared to contemplate. Things are getting very tough.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/aggbug?PostID=253012&AppID=29265&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">Former Memberhttps://community.macmillan.org.uk/members/formermember
