mid-week

Tuesday was a tiring day for Dad. The fall on Monday evening really shook him up. He wasn't hurt and didn't ache the next day, but he was very shook up. After school on Tuesday's I clean their house and sent Mom out to do errands. She needs to get away by herself so she doesn't get that too cooped up feeling. It is very tough on her being the primary caregiver. Dad did eat a little lasagna that I heated up that evening. Mary, my sister brought that meal up to us to use when we needed it. It was delicious. Wednesday dad had his physical therapist come and the therapist wanted to get him up and in the chair. Dad said he was not up to it. The therapist did get Dad into his wheel chair so that Mom and Dad could practice how to get from the chair back into bed so he won't fall again. The nurse came while the therapsit was there and Dad told her he didn't feel well. His blood pressure was quite low and he was very dehydrated. She got on the phone to Dad's doctors and got dad into the car to go to the hospital for some fluids. He arrived at the hospital around 1:30, Gregg was waiting for them. He had a large glucose bag through an IV and then sent home a little after 5:00. Gregg got dad back into bed at home. Hopefully he will have a better day tomorrow. His appetite is better due to the pill he started taking. His sister and husband, Norma and Larry came up and will spend the night and visit tomorrow. John and Shelly will be coming up this weekend too! Blessings, Michelle
