Grampa Again
I hate to sound like Chicken Little or Henny Penny, but Grampa is in the hospital again.
He went home on Saturday. Daddy visited on Wednesday and it seemed as though everything was okay, I think. But it seems that Grampa isn't really eating anything, isn't drinking much of anything and so isn't eliminating either. (I know, more information than you wanted to know.) He is confused, but that is hard to notice. Yesterday the doctor ordered a purgative and Grampa threw it up, so he is getting dehydrated. So they had Gramma bring him in. I don't really know what the prognosis is.
Comments
I was a bit premature on this one, folks. He visited the emergancy ward twice in one day (different hospitals), but wasn't admitted (to either). Gramma is finally ready to start to concider putting him in a nursing home. The VA has a two year waiting list. Not sure how we will get through this.

Whoa. Well, I hope all goes well. You know, I recently found out that the VA was one of the places that Mark's father did his medical residency while he was in Cleveland.
