Hello lovelies this is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to write thus far, since the passing of my mum to Sepsis on January 4th 2018. I am writing this rather than phoning people as I have intermittent voice issues and I lose my voice at times to a croaky whisper. It’s hard for Kev to hear me at times. So the likelihood that I am heard on the phone will be erratic at best. Plus I am not sure I’d be able to tell you without breaking down. My dad is very ill and has been given weeks to live. He is currently in hospital being treated for a infection which is now complicated by a COVID diagnosis while at the hospital. So no one can visit him he’s doing as well as he can do presently.
However the cruel twist in this situation it has triggered dementia which seems to have advanced rapidly since his first admission at the end of March recently (when he and my sister was told together). So my dad has forgotten his diagnosis and believes he is there because he’s unwell and they’re helping him. His blood pressure keeps dropping whenever he stands and stabilises when he’s resting. This is why dad was admitted at first, but a scan revealed more than his blood pressure. If family has any questions then please don’t hesitate to direct message me via messenger or those who have questions and have my phone number by all means text me. I’ll do my best to answer if I can.
We are hoping and praying that dad doesn’t succumb to the covid. The hospital are making him as comfortable as possible and he is sleeping quite abit.. This is why I’ve not been active on social media writing and advocating and raising awareness for topics such as cannabis sepsis etc..
Words can’t express how heart broken I am always been a daddies girl. Although I love my mum without limits, it was always my dad who couldn’t shake me loose. He’d have to sneak out the door at times to avoid the where are you going my dad can I come? plus the inevitable fall out of tears and tantrums when I realised he went out without me. (we kids don’t understand we can’t go everywhere with our parents do we.. )
Because I’m immune compromised with my own issues. I haven’t been able to go see him which has been a mind feck to say the least. (Then trying not to let my preexisting conditions take over as stress triggers RH flares and RLS) But my lovely sister was able to play him voice messages and written messages from me and Kev when could visit. Which made him smile. I will update you when I hear more news.
Sending get well wishes to my sister Tia and nephew Billy aswell.. whose caught covid from my dad despite my sister being careful. (she got it after she was told dad had it). Thank god she is able to function (just about with the usually cold and flu preparations) and now my nephew. Huge thanks to my Kev for keeping me sane and being the rock and a source of support and the same to my girls and my sister’s through this difficult time.. ❤️
