What's the one thing you would ask a friend or relative to bring in to someone in ICu?

HI,Posted previously about my Dad, he's making small slow improvements, very tired and says he's in agony (his hips and bottom mainly).

We can understand him now, but he gets so tired, and he's still so weak (can barely move). Still on Dialysis and tube fed, begging for a drink as his mouth feels horrid, he's in tears and so low , he's starting to loose his mind a little I fear.

What's the one thing you would suggest visitors bring in? That could help /motivate him? (As people keep asking me)...

And finally for those previously in ICU, what's the one thing you would tell yourself now if you could?.

Some music that your dad enjoys, or someone read him a book. Maybe some lipbalm...lips always get sore in hospital. Some of the wash stuff your dad would choose to make him feel a bit better about himself.

I don't know of any of these ideas are helpful but keep hanging in there! Slow but steady improvements are steps in the right direction! Make sure you look after you too.
