Hi Patrik,

Thanks so much as always for your advice and support!

Sorry it’s taken me a while to respond; Dad is back in hospital. He was admitted via ambulance. My brother visited him at home that morning and was really concerned to find him in bed and delirious, with an inability to speak. My stepmom felt it was due to the consistently high blood sugars and that it would resolve (she was in daily contact with the diabetic team help line).

Fortunately, my brother urged her to question this and to ring for an ambulance. The paramedics took him in straight away.

Working diagnosis has been pneumonia and sepsis.

Things looked perilous that day and the consultant and matron told us they wanted to place a DNR if he arrested. I used everything you have taught me, not to be rushed into making decisions, to advocate for dad. ICU reviewed him and said they wouldn’t readmit him. Said there was nothing they could do that would be in his best interests. Ward consultant said, we may reach a point where we have to accept he is not going to make it, or is dying but that they would continue to offer all treatment in the hope he would respond to antibiotics and steroids.

Continuation...
