UPDATE ON DAD

Some ups and downs over the last few days. I have just rung the ward this morning and they are saying he does not seem so bright today. He is very tired and has a cough, as a precaution they are going to do a chest Xray, I do hope and pray he has not picked up anything as this could delay plans to get him home in the next couple of weeks but so many people visitors and staff alike have been coughing and have obvious colds over the last couple of weeks.

He also is low on potassium and they have canulated him again to give him some fluid, it could be that that is leading to the tiredness but they need to double check regarding chest infection to be prudent.

I was advised that potassium levels can be a problem with people who have stoma's so I am hoping this is the cause.

Your prayers and thoughts would be appreciated though.

Star can you advise the folks on the dose.

Thanks a lot
Eleanor
