My brother and his air bed!

Thank you wavewolf. Next time I see him I will see if they will let me change his mattress to a foam one, and will also ask about possibly getting him an auto turning bed. We are all trying to persuade him to let the staff put him in a chair! Nice dog by the way.

Oh dear, im sorry, its not much fun being stuck in bed ...if you want any help then just let me know

He's had a bad weekend with another chest infection and also was getting blood in his urine. They found this was due to a trauma after being re-catheterised. Both these problems seem to be sorted but now he is drifting in and out of sleep and is often unresponsive. When his friend went in this morning he wasn't speaking and this afternoon he is sleeping again. He was also left with no top on as his clothes are ALL in the wash. After a chest infection, this is hardly desirable, and I wonder how much longer he will survive and in my mind conspiracy theories are working overtime. I'm glad you find your iPad a good help DJ, I do too, but I fear for my brother it's just too late.

He's on antibiotics for the infection but I think they're giving him other drugs too which are making him like this, although they won't admit it. Same thing happened with my Mum when she had dementia.
