Prayers needed for my step dad

Wow, this is crazy. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts. I hope someone can raise some heck and get something done about this so he doesn't decline again or more.

thank you for all the thougths and prayers they really mean a lot to us.

don't get me wrong. I am glad he is home and REALLY resting comfortably as possible... but it was the manner in which it happened AND the lack of notice and preparation.

I just don't understand how they could overlook antibiotics when he was supposed to stay for 5 days on IV antibiotics.

WOWOWW!!!! It amazes me how the hospitals have gone so down hill latey. I hope he starts to feel better and they can get him some antibiotics or something!!! Please keep us updated on how he is doing. He is in my thoughts.

thank you.

these hospitals are in canada.

I cannot believe for the LIFE of me that they would send someone in HIS condition home wihtout ANY antibiotics. it's just CRAZY to me

and REALLY? this is all over the stupid H1N1 hysteria. they are hospitalizing ANYONE and everyone with it and kicking out patients that NEED to be there.

That's our great Canadian health care system in action.

I pray for your step dad to recover from his illness and the mistreatment.

Prayers for your stepdad. How horrible what he had to go through on top of his ailments and surgeries.

I was thinking along the same line as catty1- would your stepdad qualify for visiting nurse services? With the right care, he might be better off to recover at home, away from people with things like viral illnesses and antibiotic-resistant infections. Did they remove the drains before he went home? Some of the newest antibiotics (like Cipro and levofloxacin) are just as effective when taken as a pill as they are when given intravenously.

Prayers for your stepdad and you! (((HUGS)))
