Carer Update

Thanks to everyone for your kindness and concern after my last post. We visited my brother this afternoon and evening, and he seems much better - in fact he managed some soup and a bread roll for tea, which is a fairly good indication that the immediate problem has resolved itself.

He's still going to see the doctor tomorrow, and the ward sister was talking about getting the dietician to talk to him as well - he was already pretty skinny, and of course not eating for several days meant he lost even more.

Hopefully they should let him out after that though, as he shouldn't be in need of any more medical treatment for the moment.

This is good to know. I had no idea that your brother's condition existed, and am glad that he has got through this episode.

I've never heard of anyone else with the same problem, either. Fortunately it's not normally this bad, and hopefully they might find some way of actually treating it. *fingers crossed*

Thanks for the kind thoughts.

Ouchy ouch! I knew someone at uni who must have had something very similar. Glad he's feeling better though :)

Thank you. :-)

I thought it couldn't be a unique thing, but it's interesting to find that somebody else has come across it.
