Urgent help needed (Post meningitis effects)

[Godwilltakecare]

Hi helpies ! My dad was diagnosed with oligodendroglioma anaplastic grade 3 on 19th and was operated on 20th. He was all fine and conscious with no signs of memory loss. However the front portion of his head got swollen and he was complaining of headache after a week. We got him admitted to hospital where they drained out water from his spine for 2 days. He became weak and lost his consciousness. Doctors informed us that he has meningitis and his sodium levels have dropped down. These series of events caused him to lose consciousness. Right now , today on 31st July he is in E2V2M5 neurological status. His limbs move but he not able to walk. He is bedridden now. He does not speak and eats with the pipe that is inserted in his nostril. He is basically on a liquid diet.

Because of this state , doctors are not giving radio and chemotherepy until this improves.

I need your help. If you have any suggestions for me , I would be really thankful. Any specific things that could help him regain his motor skills or vocals. Anything.

Thank you in advance.

That must be heart wrenching for you. I don't have any recommendations, but I do hope he improves quickly and send you love. Recovery from meningitis takes a lot of time. Best of luck. xo

I recently had bacterial meningitis and regaining my motor skills. Music is very helpful, if you can play songs near him that he loved. Music that resonates with memories of his past. a specific group he enjoyed during his teens, and adulthood. some groups that were popular then.

Music is a great healer, blessings and may you find all that you seek in assisting him in his recovery. He is blessed to have you!
