Hello,

Sorry I've been away from the forum for a long time. Two teenagers, one baby, and full time care of my dad (shared with my mom) was tough.. And then... We decided to move from the USA to Finland. It was my husband's idea actually... He dragged us in June 2018 because he thought we could somewhat get our lives back here. Nursing homes in Finland are amazing, so we put my dad in one that is right downstairs our apartment complex.

So yes, our lives did get better. 15 well trained nurses started taking care of my dad instead of me and my mom, while we still can visit any time of the day for quality time. My dad got much better too, it was the greatest half a year possible given his condition.

But a couple of weeks ago my dad got a flu. And he doesn't seem to be able to recover. He has lots of congestion, his CRP is 12 though, so no bacterial infection, but we are all very worried he's going to get pneumonia.

I came back here for support.... I don't know what to expect now. My dad hasn't have an upper respiratory infection since his diagnosis in Oct 2017, so we haven't been through this yet. His oxygen is still 94, but he's pretty much completely lost all of his muscles by now.

He refuses any medication or food since he's not feeling well and is generally very sad and probably scared...

Is it possible for a PALS to get over a flu when they are completely bed ridden already? He can't swallow or cough anymore, he can't talk. He has a vast, cough assist, bipap.

Thank you for your answers,
Anna
