Hi all,
Not looking for advice - just need to share my sadness that my Dad is losing his voice so quickly, and I am sad that I can’t see him at the moment, and when I do see him again he won’t be able to make his voice heard.
I’m trying to reassure myself that as long as he is safe and the carers keep turning up then all is well (of course that is the most important ) - but I used to pop in 3 times a week and haven’t seen him to talk to for almost 3 weeks now I miss him
Take care everyone xx
So sorry to hear this Katy. Is there anyway you can record your dad over the phone or online?
Take care

I think we are past being able to record him now unfortunately but thanks for your suggestion xx
Yeah it's just hard. We are required to keep letting go of our loved ones, with every development of their condition. And now the need to leave them in the hands of others.
I normally visit Dad 2 days a week, but thankfully the carers are helping with video calls. I've snuck in a couple of times to say hi when I've brought his shopping round. But don't know if I should really.
I think I've got used to Dad not speaking - it's exciting when he does manage a bit. I'm realising how precious each smile is that we have had from him. He's a legend. 
Take care xx
Oh thank you for the reply - let’s hope that our Dads stay safe through this horrible virus time
Take care x
