Finally got to talk to my Dad and he seemed to sound alittle better.
He was glad he would be seeing his own doctor Wednesday (I didn't tell him I told his doctor's nurse whats been going on at the nursing home.)
Talked to my brother about an hour ago and he also very glad my Dad seeing his dr. Said he wouldnt call me back unless important.
Well 20 minuteds later my brother calls, my Dad's bloodwork is all over the place, as my brother put it all off whack. His white blood cell count very high.
So he has an infection, maybe from the catheter, maybe somewhere else. My brother is calling the nursning home back in a few minutes, the dr there making rounds. They are talking about sending my Dad back to the hospital in the morning.
After my brother talks to the dr hopefully sooner. My Dad is very relived to be going to the hospital where his own dr, cardiologist and the surgeon will see him.
I am worried about the bloodwork, hope nothing serious, but so glad he is getting out of that "rehab" and will finally be getting the care he should have all along.
Will let you know as soon as i hear. Also at the hospital he will have his own phone, so I don't have to spend hours trying to get to talkt to him.
My brother mentioned doing a conference call with his drs before he comes home so we both will know what to expect and how to help him. I WILL let them know the horrid treatment at the nursing home.
