We are all glad that dad is home and healing there. He has been sick for 14 days straight, causing great concern. Radiation, diet, and medication were all ruled out as possible causes so more tests were ordered when dad returned to Toronto on Thursday to have his trach stitches removed. Although they tested for C difficile when he was in the hospital, they retested again. We're glad the results came back negative for that once more. We're not sure why this is happening but are relieved to see some improvement in the past day or two. Hopefully it's just an infection that was taking a while to clear up.
Now we have yet another concern to add to the list. The on again/off again, re-occurring pressure sore near dad's tailbone, that previously had him bed-ridden for two years, is back with a vengeance as of yesterday. Mom checks dad a couple times each day and it wasn't there in the morning before getting up for the day. By the time dad was transferred back to bed, it was broken open very badly. We really hope this isn't going to be the big deal it has become in the past.
I write semi-jokingly: Who ever is poking that voodoo doll out there, enough is enough!!
Sorry to hear about da tail bone issue Kim.I just spoke to yer Dad about 4 hours ago. Quite surprised but very pleased to hear from him so soon. He sure sounded good and there has been no ill effect from this last goin on in regards to his sense of humor or good nature.:)Gonna pop in on him early morning of Oct 9. Sure hope he keeps on da mend.
