Dad is coming home today!
Dad has been in the hospital for over a week an had to have surgery. I wrote about it in this blog post here. I called him this morning and he sounded great. He did have a fever last night and cold chills and we were afraid if the fever went nay higher that something else would go wrong. After the surgery the doctor said to let him and the nurses know if he had cold chills so my mom did and they checked his temperature and it was a little high. My mom said if it got any higher the infection could go through his blood stream and make him even sicker. So as you can imagine, we were all worried.
This morning I called him and he sounded like he was feeling better. He told me he was coming home today so I knew he was happy. They will be providing an in home nurse for a while to watch him because of his diabetes and high blood pressure and to make sure he doesn’t have any complications from the surgery. It’s a good thing they are doing this because my mom has to work even harder now at her job because he can’t go back to work for a while.
So we are all relieved and happy that he is coming home today. I know my mom is really relieved because she has been so tired from running back and forth between the hospital and work. I am just so thankful he is ok. Thank you God!
I will update on how is doing from home with the nurse.
