When I got to the hospital this morning I found dad in restraints. Over night he kept trying to get out of bed and he pulled his IV out sending blood everywhere.
Dad's mental status is still foggy. He didn't know who I was or his name. But he seemed more alert.
Physical therapy is/was to start working with him to get his strength back. But now there is a big problem with his blood pressure.
The neurologist wants a CT scan of dad's head, the nurses are concerned over being able to monitor dad closely so they are sending him to another floor. From what I gather it is like a step or two down from ICU.
This is really getting to be more than I thought it would be. While I wasn't worried really badly about dad and his coming home, now I am starting to feel bad about all this. Is he going to make it through this? Am I?
