Well today my dads loaded up with antibiotics DOCTORs said my dads condition is threw not eating BUT I think the lying trying to cover up the lack of due diligence WHEN it comes
To recognising SEPSIS in DEMENTIA ALZHEIMER patient.
Hospital MUST think I am daft WHEN I talked about suspecting UTI SEPSIS in my DAD ... Well TODAY they starting treating it with drips and antibiotics.
Doctors said O as anyone said what's up with your dad WELL no the have not BUT this evening dad perked up and was eating AFTER being treated for sepsis I.e antibiotics and 2 drips
Lying doctors need to spot sepsis signs better in DEMENTIA ALZHEIMER patients especially AS they told me o it's not sepsis OTHER day.
DOCTORS called SEPSIS + SHOCK Acute kidney injury and pneumonia.
Needless to say I expressed my concerns AND requesting proactive monitoring treatment for my father and he's sepsis.
I just hope they have not acted to late given mini seizures as I will find it hard to forgive.
It's good to know your dad is showing interest in food and has perked up a bit, Daz. I'm really hoping he continues to improve and can come back home as soon as possible. xxx
I'm glad your Dad is getting the proper treatment now and things seem to be improving. I hope you are able to get some rest. This has to be so stressful.
Hello Jeff, sounds like someone is taking notice now. It is very difficult to discover whats wrong in dementia patients without a thorough check and listening to the carers. UTIs can cause dementia to become worse if untreated especially in older people, if left it can lead to sepsis and Kidney damage . Glad your dad is picking up and hopefully he will be home for Christmas. Proactive monitoring is what is needed, more care in the community and careful doctors who do check for causes of changes in a person noticed by carers or family. But unfortunately very little attention is given to UTIs till they have become a problem. That said I hope you feel a little calmer today as stress is not good for you either. Take care x
So glad your Dad is doing better now Jeff, hopefully will recover fully now he's being treated properly and you'll be able to have him back home with you xx
so glad your dad is doing better, now that it is on record the sepsis, I am sure they won't be making that mistake again, especially with you on board. You are a good son and your dad is lucky to have you. Bless you and now take some time for you, your dad is getting proper care so you need to as well. You have to be bright eyed and bushy tailed so you and dad can enjoy the festivities ahead together.
