Update on Dad (longish read)

-
We are back in the hospital.
Dad has Pneumonia, low blood counts and his white blood cell count is high.
They're treating him with IV Antibiotics for the High White Blood Cell Count. It was at 20, normal for a non immunocompromised person is 4-11.
This am when they checked it was 7.9.
He's dehydrated so they been giving him IV Fluids, which should also help with his diminished kidney function. He's been being treated for diminished kidney function for a couple maybe a few years now.
He hasn't had another chest x-ray yet today to check on the pneumonia.
The Dr ordered 1 unit of blood for him. I think they're cross matching that now.
Dr asked Dad if he was ready to go home yet. Dad said No.
I wasn't sure if they Dr meant earthly home or heavenly home.
Oh and last night after we'd gotten Dad semi settled in his Girlfriend was on her way to a meeting and her car died. Me and the youngest brother got her to her meeting than got her car to his house. It's either Battery or Alternator. I think [emoji17] So I'll need to squeeze out some time to diagnose and repair that too.
Anyways that's my update from IowaLast edited by Pushbutton2; 05-19-2022, 10:33 AM.
