Good afternoon folks.
Another day spent at the hospital with dad. He was doing better in the Skilled Nursing home and getting a little stronger. Then last night at 1:00 AM he got a nosebleed from hell. At 7:00 AM the nurse gave up and called me as to which hospital to send him to. They shoved a huge bandage up his nose and inflated it with air. That stopped the bleeding for now but that can't stay in place for too long. I had to run to the office to put out a few hot jobs and just got home. I will have to run back to the hospital tonight.
They think he aspirated enough blood to get pneumonia, and that is why they are keeping him.
He is a tough old guy. He has survived two hernia operations, prostate cancer, skin cancer, a listeria infection, one stroke, leukemia, gall bladder operation, and a new heart valve. The oncologist for the leukemia gave him just 6 months to live three years ago.
