Hello All,
Im after some more help for my grandad!! Hes more or less bed ridden, his neck & head has slowly started to slouch to one side..Its going to start to affect his breathing & eating soon..we are nagging him to start to hold his head up but not getting anywhere..
we have tried all piloows. memeory foam (but they are bit bulky) bean bag ones..bit flimsy..but nothing holds his head upright for long..
Does anybody know a good site or a place we can look for a good support pillow..Im thinking a bit of a wedge one?? we might have to make him one but thats no worry if so..
Thank you all.

Have you asked his Doctor for advice, maybe a community physiotherapist can help. If it's beginning to affect his breathing then he need professional help.0

get the doctor out to look at this urgently
does he have appropiate support for his head to keep his airways open at night?0
