tj, could you call the hospital and find out if they have any recommendations for ways that you could help? Like, they might not have DoorDash, but they might know that Cynthia does local deliveries (we had a local woman who did shopping/restaurant deliveries/etc before the big players came to town). Or something. Hospitals usually have some kind of economy that grows up around them.

He took another bad turn today. So he is in the icu. Honestly I think it’s a better place for him. The constant monitoring is probably better.
Found out that they messed up his meds, so that is why he was so unstable yesterday. I’m really mad it happened, but so thankful that my mom was there and noticed something wasn’t right, and that she kept pestering the nurses over and over with my questions about his meds.

OMgosh teej that happened to my dad too - and my mom caught it. So frustrating. I get nurses are way overworked but there should be automated systems in place. Glad it was caught.

Please pray. Or send good vibes. Or think of us. Things are going downhill. I’m headed there now. Fuck fuck fuck.

Biggest issue is that he is in a super crappy rural hospital that doesn’t have any specialists. And all of the hospitals in the state are full up with covid patients. We can’t get him transferred anywhere. Felt good to see him and my mom though.

All the prayers are helping y’all! He has come off of the vasopressors and maintained his bp today. He still had a long road but that is a massive win! Like, he might live.

How is your dad doing tj? Thanks for asking mintyblueair. He is going to pull through for now. He’s in a really tough position though. He needs to see a kidney and liver specialist. But the hospital doesn’t have those, so he can’t see them until he is discharged from the hospital. But he isn’t strong enough to go home and have my mom be responsible for all his care. And now the hospital has a massive covid outbreak so they are limiting visitors and trying to discharge everyone who doesn’t have covid. It’s all quite a mess. So I’m going back after work Tuesday, and will stay the rest of the week to help my mom manage his care at home and get him back and forth to PT and dr appts. Then my brother will come Friday and stay for another week. Then I’ll probably go back again the day/day after he leaves. Hopefully by then he will be strong enough to manage just utilizing home health twice a day. Plus, coming home means that he has to choose to live every single day. If he chooses to drink, it will kill him. So he will have to wake up every day and choose not to drink, and choose to live. I’ve removed all the alcohol from the house so that will at least stop him until he can drive again.
