This Morning Star ‘Had to Take Dad Out of Hospital’ After Diagnosis | Celebrity News | Showbiz and TV

Sian said her own father is currently “stable” but confided that his diagnosis has been difficult for her family, admitting she feels a sense of “guilt” about the care work her sister helps provide while she lives closer to her parents. .

She also shared a story about how she had to ‘take her dad’ out of hospital after his diagnosis because she feared he was getting worse due to his new environment.

Sian said: “When my dad was really unwell, in our case, we basically decided we had to get my dad out of hospital, which I know sounds dramatic, but it was like a prison break because we were watching my dad decline so quickly.

“They’re in a strange environment, there’s different noises going on and he was getting more and more confused to the point where he seemed senile and he’s not. My dad’s not like that. He’s so smart, so funny, so with it, so I had to tell the nurses ‘by the way, he’s not normally like this, I know he looks old but he’s not senile’.

“So we got him out of hospital probably earlier than we should have, which meant we were offered district nurses who came to visit us.”

However, Sian’s family felt their fight was not over when they began receiving care in the community from district nurses, who Sian praised for their incredible work in providing care.

She said: “Now the only problem with it is just the way the system is set up – it’s so late and so wrong that every time the nurse came in it was the wrong time of day to wake him up, or the time when They arrived, he was awake and dressed, or we were trying to get him to bed too early.”

Sian said her mother made the decision to stop receiving care from district nurses as she felt it was making life “more difficult” for her husband.
