I’ve just returned from the hospital where my Dad was admitted over a week ago with an infection. He is going downhill rapidly especially with his confusion. After many tests and scans they cannot find the source of the infection and has therefore been prescribed every form of antibiotic going. He has deteriorated rapidly after his last chemo on 10 July. He’s now on morphine 10 mg modified release 2 tablets every twelve hours. Is this confusion from the drugs alone? Also he keeps getting temperature spikes? He’s not really eating or drinking. I’m struggling to cope emotionally seeing my Dad like this. He’s on an orthopaedic ward and staff do what they can but it’s far from ideal???
