Sir Charles Gardener Hospital, Perth, Western Australia, Australia  |
- Written by his brother, John
On Sunday Morning 8th April 2018, Rogers' wife Pat got up to start the day and could not rouse Roger. It turned out that he had suffered a stroke in the night and could not speak or move his right side. He was taken to Sir Charles Gardener Hospital where he was in Emergency. He has suffered a serious haemorrhage to the left side of his brain. It was not the result of cancer, more likely ageing. Roger Turned 80 last year, a good age for us Smiths, and he has kept himself fit.
On Monday he was moved to observation. How things turn out in the next day or so will determine what the result shall be. If he pulls through he will probably lose the power of speech and the capacity to move his right side. On the upside, yesterday he was able to respond to things said to him by squeezing the hand of the person speaking.
Written by Roger's Son, Jeremy
Good morning all,
Dad had another CT scan yesterday which showed a slight increase in swelling, this was to be expected and in line with the Doctors thoughts.
Dad remains in a stable condition and has periods of positive response to our words, he can clearly hear something and squeezes with his left hand.
Dr Blaker said that he will most likely be very tired for the next week but he is not expecting a full recovery, we will have to wait it out to see how things go from here.
Regards,
Jeremy.
Hello all,
It's been a tough week and today Dad's condition was a lot worse with a high temperature and increased breathing rate, the doctors believe that Dad has developed pneumonia and it is now apparent that he will not make a recovery.
Dad is now receiving morphene to assist his breathing and aid him in his comfort.
If you wanted to say your farewell it would be better not to leave it to long. Whilst Dad's response has diminished he still shows some signs of being able to hear voices and feel touch.
He is an amazing man and will be missed by many.
Regards,
Jeremy
