he's home

thank god for that !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

better news

dad is on the mend, he is still in hospital but has been taken off the oxygen as his oxygen levels in his blood are fine, he still gets a wee bit breathless but his inhalers are making it better so if he continues to improve and keeps off the oxygen tonight he can come home tomorrow YEAH!!! he promises he will keep off the cigarettes and this time i hope he means it because next time he has a flare up he might not make it,

he has joined a research study to be a guinea pig LOL he will be seen by a doctor on discharge,and then 3 monthly interval for a year, it's supposedly going to help develop new treatments for people with copd,

well now that he is on the mend i might actually get a bit of sleep tonight cos when he comes home i'll be lying awake listening for his breathing LOL

knew it would end in tears

many tears, my tears, went down to the docs this morning who gave him a thorough examination and prescribed him some steriods to help with the breathing, they seemed to work until half seven when he started with the gasping for breath and having to sit upright or stand to help again, so i rang the docs again and as soon as i mentioned he was gasping for breath they sent an ambulance,

got down to rake lane and they took him straight into a&e but i had to sit on my own in the waiting room, which is when i shed the many many tears, eventually a doctor came out and said "he's fine we fixed him" he was on a nebulizer but sitting up and breathing ok and his heart rate which had been 130 bpm in the ambulance was back down to 87bpm and his breathing was much better,

they have admitted him to the emergency care unit overnight where he was still on oxgen when i left ( well when i was thrown out if the truth be told i would still be there now if they had have let me stay), the doctor will see him tomorrow to see if he needs to be kept in or whether he can come home, if you pray please say a prayer for him tonight

not well

and he broke the agreement GRRRR

i knew there was something up with him last night when he went and sat at the kitchen table claiming it was cooler in there and alarm bells started to ring when he didn't want any supper, so when i gets up this morning and he's sitting at the table in the same position i got angry and made him tell me what was wrong.

we had an agreement the last time he wasn't well that he would tell me when he didn't feel well so we could do something about it but no i had to drag it out of him again

so anyway we now have an appointment down at rake lane to see a doctor at 11am so bang goes going to the crop :( it wouldn't surprise me if they don't send him to a&e and he ends up being admitted, have looked on nhs direct and it looks like a chest infection and not pneumonia so fingers x'd that's all it is and maybe i can nag him into giving up the fags again

it's a miracle

he can hear LOL dad got his new digital hearing aids today and all of a sudden he can hear LOL he is talking really quietly too so i'm the one who is having to say pardon to him instead of the other way round LOL he has the two of them now too, the technician who fitted them today said his hearing is probably back to the way it was years ago, think i might need to get me some of them LOL
