"Thank you for all your support & dedication"

After a turbulent 3 week stay in the SGH , Dad was discharged as medically fit to leave & return to his home.

Alas Dad deteriorated rapidly & refused food & drank limited fluids.

After consultation with his GP (Dr Phillipson) we entered palliative care for Dad, this is when the district nurse (Jo) came to see us & thoroughly check Dad over for sores & his general well-being.

From the offset we stressed that we didn’t want Dad to suffer either mental or physical duress, Jo provided us with clear but a concise dialogue to what she was going to provide Dad at this highly charged & emotional time.

Jo was highly professional & empathic in Dad’s final days & hours & offered the family reassurance that Dad was ‘comfortable’.

Within the nursing support sector there is not enough praise afforded such wonderful & professionals such as Jo & thus I feel compelled to afford her praise, where praise is due, thank you Jo for all your support & dedication.
