Hello,
My dad is declining since having a 2nd ressection done for his GBM IV. He lives alone and is very adamant that he stay in HIS home. My brother and I have been trying to spend as much time as we can there to help him function...but the last few days he's changed. His right side is so weak, he even fell down when we weren't there. He is going to the bathroom, taking his meds (somewhat)...that we can tell and getting himself dressed etc...making his ever so loved coffee in the morning. But I really wish he'd come home with me or my brother. My aunt and uncle also invited him to live with them...until he gets stronger...is what we tell him. He was suppose to start a 2nd dose of radiation today...but I called and cancelled because I just feel he is too weak to start any of that treatment right now.
I know there has to be some kind of home health care or Visiting Nurse or something that maybe we could hire to check in on him during the day. My brother and I are trying to respect his wishes so much about not going back to the hospital. He does NOT want to go. And we definitely don't want to put him in a nursing home. His mind is too there for something that dramatic.
Is anyone out there using any of these resources to help them care for their loved one.
Thanks,
Jill
