Today Mum got a call saying Dad needed a chest drain putting in as the infection was still their and he had now too much fluid on his lungs.
She was told he was having it done this morning, but when she arrived at 2.30 pm for visiting time - they had decided Dad was not well enough to have it done after all.
All the specialists have been to see him again and they are pumping him full of anti biotics and put him on fluids... he is on oxygen through a mask to help breathing.
They served him celery soup and jelly for lunch when Mum arrived it was still there cold soup and warming jelly... he is too weak to eat by himself and nobody had been there to help him eat it.
Luckily Mum fed him.... hard time for them both. They celebrated 50 years of marriage on 2 July 2010... a long time!!
