My husband became seriously ill when we were in Portugal due to a lack of sodium and potassium.
He was admitted to Faro hospital where he was administered sodium and potassium intravenously. He then developed pneumonia and was given antibiotics for that and a UTI. After eight days he was free from infections, but very weak and unable to walk. We managed to get him home with help from my son and the airport staff and air hostesses.
Since coming home we have had the support, empathy and help of a variety of organisations. The DECAHT team were particularly empathetic and supportive in the first few days we were home and helped me source essential items. We have also had support and empathy from the enablement team, OT , and speech and language.
