Dad seems to have taken a turn for the worst, he took ill on Sunday and went to his bed early and didnt want visitors that night. Yesterday he was sleeping again when I was in, he just wasnt himself and we left early to let him settle in bed and sleep. I called the hospice this morning as usual and they said he was worse he was now hooked up to a drip and on antibiotics for a infection he also said that the doctor needed to see me and mum today which I found unusual because we had a appointment with her tomorrow afternoon. I knew it wasnt going to be good news, when we got there the doctor told us that she thought dad had had a stroke as his mouth was drooping slightly also that he has went down hill in the past day we just have to give the antibiotics a chance to work and take it from there so the next 48 hours are critical. We went to see dad after we had talked with the doctor and they had given him a injection because he was feeling sick, well this has just knocked the stuffing out of him he was lying there eyes open but sleeping he looked awful I only saw him yesterday and he didnt look bad but today was the 1st day that I had to choke back the tears regarding his appearance me and mum have been very good at that we dont dad to see us upset but today was tough. I just hope we have the strength to get through the next couple of days.
