My father (his name is Dusty) was taken to the Emergency room yesterday afternoon complaining of not being able to breathe. He's been sick for ~ 3 days, but we didn't think too much of it. But when he started falling out of his chair, it was time to go see the doctor.

If I may, this can be used for all of our edification: whenever someone is having trouble breathing, it should be considered a medical emergency.

Thank you..very much.

Please remember that the "care giver" needs rest too!

Love and hugs to you........

Thanks for the ping Grammie!

Maigrey you said "his hospital therapists are a joke, and I have to tell you that seems to be the case here as well. I have a friend who's father is going thru a lot and it took fighting tooth and nail from my friend to get them to give him his meds correctly. It also took fighting to get them to give him a shower at a time other than 3 AM. You are a miracle for your father. Keep keeping watch ~ maybe that's what he needed....to know how much you care. *HUGS!*

Thank you, God.

[Maigrey]

Maybe you are right. Every time I am in there, I am talking with the nurses on duty, making inquiries about his meds, his stats, how he's been doing, etc. Every thing they put into him, I know about it, and how much. Every time one of his doctors shows up, I've got questions. When I have the answers I need - not what I want - I let them go. When that is done, then he gets his therapy sessions.

Those sessions get the blood apumpin', as evinced by his elevated BP this afternoon. (It was a tough session.)

I also informed his nurse he got a treat today - 2 sugar free peppermint patties - so his blood sugar will be elevated when she was supposed to come back in after I left today. He needed some positive reinforcement.

All in all, they know I am running the show, and if there is something I don't understand or don't like, I will speak up.

Finally, I think he does realize that I do care, but moreover, he realizes that I am capable of handling a difficult situation, without needing him to tell me how to handle it.(in essence, I've grown up in his eyes.)

Now, if I can just get him to quit trying to battle me on everything and every little detail, things will be just peachy keen!

If you learn that trick, would you pass it on?? He he he! *HUGS!*
