Dadz Update

Dad is back in the hospital.

After we got to the Hope Lodge Monday he started running a low grade fever, 99.4°.  I went and picked up some Tylenol and by the time he went to sleep the fever broke.  By 6:00 AM he had 100.4° temp and took some more Tylenol.  By 6:30 AM it was up to 101.5° and we knew he needed to go see the Dr.

His clinic appointment was already scheduled for 9:00 AM with labs at 8:15 AM. So we got to the hospital at about 7:45 AM.  We both skipped breakfast with the thinking we could get the appointments over with and go get some food.  Unfortunately that was a bad plan because they decided to re-admit Dad which meant no going to get food.  We went to the Outpatient clinic to wait for a room and get Dad started on antibiotics, about 9:30 AM.  I left for a little while at noon to get some breakfast/lunch and then came back to sit with Dad.

Dad was finally promised a room at about 6:15 PM but the room wasn't ready so we had to wait for a couple more hours due to cleaning and shift change.  By 8:45 PM he was being wheeled to his room.  Dad asked me if I could bring his flip flops from the Hope Lodge, I left and went and picked them up and by the time I got back Dad was resting comfortably.

It was a very excruciatingly long tormenting day.

Currently;
I am sitting here with him today and he looks so much better.  Dad said he feels worse than he has since he came in here but I don't see it.  I think he feels like crap but is much better than he was.

Just keep him in your prayers and I will continue my vigil.

More to come later.......
