Thank you all for the help!
I will continue describing the situation.
1. My father has become very weak; now he doesn't even have enough strength to sit up without help. However, the situation with his hands has improved slightly (after a period when he couldn't hold a cup—now he can, and he wipes his mouth with a towel during meals). Therefore, after the severe decline, there is a small return toward normalcy. At one time he couldn't even stand when I lifted him—now, with difficulty, he stands on shaking legs while I hold him.
2. His appetite has become quite excellent. Now he eats 2-3 small bowls (previously we struggled to force just one) of everything, without being picky. We eat slowly and in a very liquid form (I dilute it with water) because it is hard for him to swallow thick or large pieces (which would require thorough chewing). Even swallowing medication capsules has become problematic.
3. The main problem remains the headaches. They are intensifying; we have already switched from Ketalong painkiller to Tramadol. This gives him no peace. He is used to enduring everything and constantly says that everything is fine, but it's obvious how he can't find any comfort, how tightly he squints his eyes, grimaces, and holds his head. I hope we can resolve the headache issues before switching to morphine... Due to the painkillers, he has become more lethargic. A problem with the optic nerve is visible—during sleep or even while awake, one eye may be half-closed, the mouth slightly droops, and he hardly speaks (only in the morning does it ease up slightly and he can say something barely intelligibly).
4. Today some kind of poisoning or systemic failure occurred (we will need to analyze what the problem is—perhaps food poisoning, perhaps drug incompatibility, perhaps an overdose somewhere, or something else). Throughout the day he felt nauseous; he went to the bathroom for bowel movements about 5-8 times, but not with liquid stool and only in small amounts, suffering from pain. When he lay flat, he began to choke with a cough—I had to keep his head and body elevated even while lying down. We decided to give him an enema, but the water did not come back out, which most likely indicates that he is very severely dehydrated. But we'll see; maybe it will come out during the night. I hope he feels better.
5. Over the weekend, we are preparing to start a second course of sodium bicarbonate IV drips. After the completion of the first course, his appetite returned; I hope the second one also brings improvement.
6. We maintain a diet as much as possible. More fruits and vegetables in boiled, raw, or baked form, as well as juices and some porridges (buckwheat, lentils). We have excluded sugar, lard, yeast, and high-grade wheat flour. We have limited the consumption of dairy, meat, and fish.
An inflatable tub arrived today. If my father's condition allows, I will try to give him a soda-salt bath to cleanse the skin and subcutaneous layer of toxins, cleanse the lymph, and alkalize. Plus, this type of bathing (soaking) should theoretically be less painful and stressful for him—since he won't need to maintain balance or do anything, and will shake his head less from the pain.
Lately I have been working little—since it is impossible to leave my father alone for long—but somehow money for the main medications is being found. Plus, you all are providing enormous help; without you, perhaps my father would no longer be alive. Thank you all once again!
PS. If anyone knows of folk or natural painkillers for severe headaches, please let me know. Maybe we can use them to remove or reduce the doses of painkillers. From what I found, it's Dimexide+water+boligolov (cow parsnip), but there are many side effects there.
