An update on Dad

Jan 23, 2009 09:55



Dad got some not so good news yesterday, the oral meds are not working to keep the water off so he had to go back on the iv lasik, it’s not the continuous one just the several times a day one.  That will help get the water off but it puts even more strain on his already in trouble kidneys.  It’s looking like he will have to have the dialysis, at least for a while, though nothing has been decided just yet.  He was in good spirits last night when Joe and I saw him, he’s doing his physical therapy, up to 9 steps and a few time “around the block”.  He’s going to the cafeteria for his meals and that helps, too, getting him out of his room  and social to a degree.  There must be some talk up at Harmer South about sending him home next week, well his doctor won’t send him home unless he is medically sound/stable so with the whole iv lasik and dialysis we’re really not sure about that.  I, of course, used some guilt on him about being around to walk me down the aisle, I told him he has to follow the doctors’ orders this time.  I hope he listens.
