Daddy's back in the hospital He's been in since Monday. Mama called me at work and said she heard him moaning early that morning and when she checked on him, he was shivering so hard the whole bed was shaking. She tried to get him up to go to the Dr and couldn't, so she had to call an ambulance. He was admitted and all kinds of tests have been done. Chest x-rays are clear, bloodwork is good. He's very dehydrated, but has been getting fluids since Monday. He's nauseated and his heart is racing. His Dr says it's gastrointeritis and a virile infection. His temp runs from 101 to 103. He getting meds for the racing heart but he's NEVER had a problem with his heart before. I'm scared - I'm scheduled for bariatric surgery next Wed (12th) and Mama doesn't want me to come to the hospital because she doesn't want me to catch anything before my surgery. I feel SOOOO guilty for not being there! |
Goodness,, hope all goes well for your folks,, and for your in your upcoming surgery!! Take Care!! All the Best! :) |
I'll start sending prayers. Your mom is right - you need to take care of yourself, too. |
Awww so sorry you have so much on your plate right now. Sending prayers that everyone gets better soon, yourself included. |
Mothers really do know what is best, Hon. Please take care of yourself too. Prayers coming your way for you and your father....:heart to |
Sending hugs and prayers - I think you should listen to mom - or put on a mask and gown and sneak in there - that's what I did when my cousin was in a coma and they didn't know why :( (I was pregnant at the time) but he was my best friend and I HAD to be there - I'm so glad I did because he didn't make it :( .....I'm NOT saying your dad isn't going to make it - but feel if you take the proper precautions maybe you can visit - Doctors and nurses do it all the time and they don't catch every little thing - I hope I'm ok for saying all this - it's your dad and if I were in your shoes I'd want to be there - HUGS !!! And all the best to him - I hope they find out why he's so sick |
I am so very sorry that your daddy is sick. Sending hugs and prayers your way. Please listen to your mom. If you are scheduled for surgery next week, you don't want to be exposed to any comunicable disease. Call him on the phone and write him a nice card. |
(((HUGS))) Your dad will be in my prayers! |
Praying your Dad recovers quickly. |
Hey, I know your upset....let me tell you gastrointeritis HURTS! Its defiantly something they can fix, but until then I can see why he wasa moan and shaking, I had gall bladder surery and had that air in my stomache after teh sugery, I was rushed to the ER about 4 tmes for demerol shots.......I was sweating and shacking, and screaming as quitly as I could. Thank GOD it didn't last long. When his meds kick in he will probably never have this again, I also got gastrointeritis once from eating fat free chips made with olestra. The doctor said olestra usually dosen't bother people, but the % of people it did bother, it was bad. Keep us updated and good luck with your surgery. Angie |
sending prayers for your father.hoping he starts to feel better soon. |
Aw honey sending prayers and well wishes to you both. |
oh Kim I will be praying for you dad and you as well for your upcoming surgery. It is best to stay away from the hospital at this time . . .am sure everything will be alright. |
:( I know you must be worried. At least he's in the hospital where they can watch him 24/7. Your Mom's right about staying away since you're going to have surgery soon. Can you call him and just talk on the phone? I know that will make you feel better, him too probably! Good luck! |
I'm sorry your Dad's back in the hospital. They will take good care of him so don't you worry. It's important to take care of yourself now too so you can get your surgery done next week. The hopsital is full of germs and your mom is right. Don't feel guilty. You Dad wouldn't want you to get sick. When he's up to it talk to him on the phone. God willing he will be home before you have to go in yourself. Best wishes to you too. |
Aww Iam so sorry your dad is sick:( Sending prayers and hugs.. |
Sending best wishes for you and you Dad. Prayers on their way. Sheilagh |
Update Well, all the tests are in and we finally know what's going on with Daddy. He has pneumonia and shingles. At first, the Dr kept telling Mama his chest x-rays were clear, but he kept on giving Daddy breathing treatments. I told her I bet it was pneumonia. The shingles caught us off guard, but when I thought about it, he's been sick since last May and his system is really weak. He's on a regime of meds, and since they know what it is now, hopefully he'll be on the mend soon. Thanks, everybody |
