Just a quick update. My Dad is quite poorly and NBM because he cannot swallow so they want to do more tests. He will have an MRI scan to tell if he has had a stroke or not. He is still on the respiratory ward and on oxygen so his breathing is a bit better. He is very confused. I will update when I can. EJ.

We have been to see Dad today. Unfortunately he is very poorly. We have spoken to the doctor looking after Dad. He is still unable to swallow but off the oxygen but still nil by mouth. He is anaemic, has low blood platelets, has episodes of unconsciousness because of lack of oxygen to his lungs (there is a medical term for this) he is still confused, his speech is slurred. He also has fluid on his lungs so they are going to do a pleural effusion. The most worrying things are a cyst on his one remaining kidney and a mass in his stomach. He is to have a further ct scan. I know that it isn't looking good for him. I need to remain strong for him. Hopefully after the weekend we will have a more detailed diagnosis. Please if you pray remember him in your prayers as I don't think that he is going to get better. I will probably pop in and out of nmp until I know any more. EJ.
