We went thru many of the same things with my Dad in the last few years. I don’t know if this helps or not, but going on hospice was really a blessing for him. It allowed him to receive treatments he wouldn’t have otherwise able to have. Its hard to know, but I almost feel like he lived longer because of it. Almost a year and half after going on it. It’s hard and will be hard I know. Your Illini family will be praying for you.
After some research and questioning of the nurse's at dad's nursing home , I have to agree with you as far as maybe being better for him....extra attention and more eyes on his condition with the chance for treatments and meds that will improve his daily life.....
dad fell out of his bed last week at the nursing home and hit the floor with the left side of his head and face.....had to have 3 stitches ....my aunt who lives in the same town where mom and dad live at went by and took a picture and texted it to me .......
he's gonna have a shiner deluxe before it goes away......but the nurse this morning told me his vitals are strong and he fed himself for the first time in about a month..............so it goes , one day he does ok and others not so ok.......
I asked him why he tried to get out of bed by himself and he said " cause I wanted too "..........lol............that's my dad to a T.........
Thanks again for all the support from everyone.........the covid rate where they live is " high risk" and masks required .....I just hope he doesn't get the covid again ......
