Do any of you have prayer requests??

Not knowing the full story, it's hard to make suggestions;
BUT a strong complaint to the facility management is in order!

There are a LOT of special "monitors" that can be used to monitor a patient's vital signs 24/7 -
I wore a Heart Monitor every minute I was in the Hospital ... a lil battery operated gizmo
carried in a pocket or on a belt, connected to ME with stick-on patches.
It continuously sent my vitals into "Headquarters" at the nurses' station.
They have similar set-ups for nursing home residents.

Do SOMETHING to have him monitored!

My mom did complain. Hell of a job they did. Ugh.

Update:

So tonight I was talking with my mom then all of a sudden, she said she had to go to the hospital, and something happened... so I found out that Papa went down, everything, heart rate, breathing, etc. and had a blood clot in his heart, so they ran a lot of tests on him, and he was responsive to all. He is currently sleeping; and they will find out more in the morning. They transported him out of ICU today AND now tonight, he is back in the ICU.

God. This infection is serious and I didn't think it would be. Please make it go away. I AM NOT READY for this right now.

*sigh*

More prayers, please.

Prayers going out to your Papa. I've seen the prayers here do a lot of good.

Prayers for you, too, that you have strength - to cheer your Papa up when you get to see him!

HUGS.

Prayers and positive thoughts are going out to everyone who needs them. I always say PT prayers for everyone who needs them each night.

Prayers going out for your Papa, Rachel. Things must be so scary for you right now. Hope the infection goes away, that they can do something about the clot, and he'll get better. Big hugs to you!!!


Tamara, I really hope things turn out ok for Mac. Poor guy! He was just trying to have some fun! The dangerous dog sounds like the one who got Tehya in the leg!

Prayers needed for Kia. Found bloody phlegm in her crate this morning.

Well, I found out that Papa is doing better, they will figure out what is wrong and what exactly happened last night. He was in bed, joking with my dad about OSU losing to Wisconsin last night..

SO I found out this also... that 2 weeks ago Papa went to the foot doctor and they said his toe that he had surgery on, it wasn't infected, which they couldnt have been wronger about! Then apparently it got really swollen and tender and Uncle Al took him to the hospital and they said it was VERY, VERY infected, and that's what caused him to go to ICU. So, it's called septic shock which means the infection gets in your blood and causes the organs to shut down!

My cousin just called me saying that the doctors said that they think they need to move him to a different hospital to do a test and check for blockage in his arteries of his heart... because of what happened last night. So.. TOMORROW, they will be doing a heart cauterization. (sp?)

GOSH. I don't know much more upset I can get over this.

Thanks guys for your support... this is really rough on me..
