4.30 a.m. Sat here worried sick about Keith who may well have pneumonia. I got him anti-biotics to go with the decongestants yesterday but they will take a while to kick in. I am on antibiotics too and they have helped my chest and I slept better.
"I" no trouble yesterday, but I was dashing about with her between the GP's and the pharmacy, morning and afternoon. Up and downstairs to Keith, who was eating fine but his breathing sounded awful. Like when he had Covid. We had a Parkinsons crisis around 6 p.m. with him shaking so badly, and crying out in pain and thrashing around. (His meds don't work when there is a virus or similar in system). He managed to get it out that he wanted a Diazapam which he had beside our old bed. He refused to let me check if this would be ok with his other meds and insisted, as best he could. He was in such a state that it was worth the risk. It relaxed him but he fell asleep with his warm top on and when the other two came back we had to strip him off as he was melting, poor man. We've been up to him every two hours - he's cool now but his breathing is awful and I will be calling the GP at 8.15 for a home visit as I think it's Pneumonia. Danny had set his alarm for when I woke up for the loo, and we got lots of water down Keith, and another antibiotic
I tried to get emergency carers but once again got passed from pillar to post - the GP can authorise them, but wouldn't and the last I got told was to contact his social worker. I will try again today and give someone hell - it is a struggle to be superwoman on ALL fronts.
My evening meal last night was a bowl of dry cornflakes. I shall soon be at 10 1/2 stone now. Just a couple of pounds away now.
So, Reiki, prayers, good wishes - whatever you can summon, it will be welcome.
Update: he is sounding much worse this morning and we are going to call an ambulance. What I'm coughing up is the colour of the green paint on the shed, and I imagine he has similar. He's got very much worse overnight. I think it's Pneumonia. I hope he can go to the cottage hospital at Llandod.
