My Dad is in the hospital...

[AmberLee]

Hi all,

My Dad has been dizzy for a few weeks now. We finally talked him into calling the doctor for an appointment yesterday. When we talked to the nurse she insisted we take him to the Emergency Room immediately.

His tests were inconclusive and they're holding him over the weekend for further testing.

He's misterable. I think it's best we finally figure out what's making him dizzy, but wish he weren't so unhappy. :( :(

Your dad is in my prayers. I hope they find out what's wrong and that it isn't serious and can be fixed quickly and painlessly.

Your dad will be in our prayers - answers are always better than wondering.

Amberlee, your day is in our prayers. Do keep us posted. Georgia

I'm sorry to hear this about your dad, and about how miserable he is. That is difficult for the rest of the family too. I'm hoping that you get some answers very soon.

Thank you, all.

I'm sorry to hear your dad is feeling so miserable. I hope they can find the reason quickly and do what's neccesary. Could he be dehydrated?

Sending lots of positive thoughts to you and your dad.

[AmberLee]

Dad's been moved to the coronary care unit: apparently he had a bad reaction to the substitute heart medicine and had an episode with racing heart.

:confused: :( :confused:

I guess I'm glad if it had to happen that he was so close to people who could help.

:( :confused: :eek:

Thanks, all, for your prayers.

[kimlovescats]

I know that must have been very scary for him! :( Like you said, he is in the best place he can be right now! ;)

OMG, poor Dad.... . Good to hear he is under close control now!

[krazyaboutkatz]

How scary.:( I sure hope that he'll be okay. I'm sure that he's in good hands. Did they ever find out what was causing his dizzyness? Lots more prayers and positive thoughts are being sent his way. Please take care. (((HUGS)))

I'm so sorry I missed this, before, Amberlee. "Dads" can be very stubborn, can't they? Mine is the same way! :rolleyes: I'm glad they have found the cause and I'm glad you and your mother persisted in getting him some medical attention. Hopefully, he will be better in no time. But I'm going to keep him in my prayers, just to be on the safe side.

I'm glad to hear that they were able to find out was was causing your Dad's dizziness and that it isn't anything too serious. I'm sure with a new medication that your Dad will be back home before he knows it.

Prayers still on the way though, that he has a full and speedy recovery.

[AmberLee]

Dad came home this afternoon.

He pretty much has a clean bill of health. There's some controversy over what medicines he should be taking.

Thank you all for your prayers.

[rg_girlca]

This is such great news that your father has a clean bill of health and is back home.

I pray that they are able to prescribe the right medication for him.

[krazyaboutkatz]

AmberLee, I'm so glad to hear that your dad is now home and well again.:) I hope that he'll continue to be very healthy for many more years to come.
