I wanted to share the last 4 weeks with you.
Jon developed the pneumonia and quickly followed sepsis. Jon is a DNR and wished to remain home.
a temp of 40• oxy of 55 it was hopeless.
Round the clock care with Jon struggling for breath, soaring temp and only home antibiotics we struggled through the weekend. Surprisingly he began to pick up and 7 days later sepsis had reversed leaving pneumonia.
He began to perk up and asked to be washed followed by trips to his chair.
Family came and said their goodbyes.
4 weeks later he is well, to the degree we can go on our holiday! He defied all odds, the district nurses, GP and palliative nurse expected not to see him after the weekend on 2 occasions and prepared me for the worst!
Yet here we are! He is now chatty, eating a little, drinking a little, and looking the best he has done in months!
Cherish every moment, every single one and make today the best day!
Love to you all xx
