Dad is still in the local hospital and was moved from emerg to a semi-private room yesterday. We are waiting for the doctor to come in with the latest set of results from blood work to determine if Dad can come home today or not.
We have the official word from Toronto. The surgery that was booked for tomorrow is canceled. We understand why, but this is devastating as we are now back to the same place we were weeks ago. We once again will need to wait for surgery reshuffling to find out when it will actually take place. We were hoping sooner than later.
In addition to ALL of these other things that are happening, my dad's hips are now beginning to show signs of pressure sores and skin break down. This has never happened in this location before (and likely due to the H.O.). Always something new.... Getting him home back on his own special mattress and in his chair again will hopefully prevent this problem from getting any worse.
Once again, thanks for all your support and well wishes. Our journey is far from over yet and we couldn't do this without the love and well wishes from you all!
I cant thank you enough for the updates..many many people from sites ask me daily how your dad is doing and I always pass along the information from your blog..He may get home soon where he will be more comfortable at least..Hope that the rescheduling of the surgery dont take too long..
ReplyDeleteFYI - he's home from the hospital now.
