Dad has felt gradually worse over the last few days and his oxygen has been decreasing.
We called the on call doctor out who said he should be in hospital but we said that the hospital said he should stay at home. The doctor phoned back after and said we should phone the cancer centre. I phoned them and they said not to send him in unless his temperature went over 84. His sats are currently 78 when he's not on oxygen and 88 when he is.
Apparently he probably either has a chest infection or fluid on his lungs. If it's fluid he'll need a drain which they can't do at the weekend. If it's a chest infection then he's now on strong antibiotics which should hopefully kick in by the morning.
I am away from him at the moment as w has his consultant appointment tomorrow and I really have to go to that.
Feel so awful being away from him.
So so worried. Tonight will be a long night.
