Well last Friday (2nd August) my dad had a cough and was bring up phlegm, when the carers saw him they didn't like how he looked so I called 999, and they cam and said he was showing Sepsis markers and was blue lighted into our hospital, me and my sister walked up there and waited, a Dr spoke to us and said he has Sepsis and possible heart failure (the heart issue was pneumonia). We had said that there will come a time when enough is enough and make him comfortable.

Roll forward to Tuesday, I got a call to do to the hospital so I went with my sister, He had Sepsis, Pneumonia, Aspirational Pneumonia, and his kidneys were failing, plus he was displaying vascular dementia, and we should get family.

His brother saw him that night and sister on the Wednesday.

On Thursday I was popping out and got a call as he was near palliative care, so again we sat with him, and a Dr said that his kidneys reading should be 7, they were 6 which he said were incompatible with life.

So we sat there for 8 hours and there was no change in his condition, so we decided to go back to my sister, tell her kids and sleep on her sofas.

At 23:35 we got the call and rushed to the hospital, and he literally died as we got there, so he held out just long enough.

This morning we started the arrangements for his funeral, its going to cost nearly £7,000.

I'm siting here absolutely drained, earlier I had a scotch to him.
