But wait, there's more....

Just got home from the hospital again. Dad is back in the hospital with urinary problems that if you really want the icky medical details, you will have to click on the LJ cut thingy. they are treating him, and even in the couple of hours of treatment in the ER he was getting less confused. He's up in a ward at the hospital, they were considering admitting him to the ICU, but decided a regular room should be okay. So my new plans for this weekend are to go to the hospital, and to take care of mom and house stuff.

Dad is getting better.

Saw dad this afternoon. His creatine level, which was at 19 in the ER (normal level is 1.something) was down to around nine this morning, and was down to 3 with his 6pm blood tests. So the big flush is working. He was a lot more coherent as well, which is greatly reassuring. Hope things continue to improve.

Once blood chemistry gets back to normalish, then back to dealing with the blood clot. After that, off to urologist to figure out why he backed up. So the big ball of unknowns has gotten smaller.

Mom finally got a full nights sleep, and was much better today. So I'm guessing that a lot of her confusion was from prolonged sleep deprivation, have to see how that goes.
