My poor grandpa
He was admitted on Monday because he wasn't keeping anything down and had a cough. They determined that he had pneumonia and put him on antibiotics. Apparently he is not responding well to the antibiotics and he has gained 13 lbs. since because he's not peeing. Plus he has had an arrythmia so he's on IV Cardizem and Coumadin now too. They aren't giving him Lasix because he's not peeing and they have no idea why he's retaining fluid. They've ruled out Congestive Heart Failure so I don't know what else to think except that he has renal failure. I am so sad. He's 82 but he's the healthiest person I know. He golfs every single day and walks it! This is just so upsetting to me. I wanted to go see him Friday night when my parents went (he lives 2 hours away) but I had worked the last 4 nights (Mon-Thur nights) so I felt like I needed to spend some time with Bill and the kids.
Then I just found out yesterday that he may have lung cancer. I also found out that he is in renal failure. I don't even know what to do with myself. This man played 18 holes of golf wiht my dad just two weeks ago! Now he's confused and is pulling out his IV's and stuff. I am so sad. I have a class I have to go to on Monday morning but after that's over I am driving up there. They're doing a lung biopsy on Monday and will have the results some time on Tuesday so I'll be gone until Tuesday night or Wednesday if it's ok and I don't know when I'll be back if it's not.
