Good morning, wanted to give an update on dad . He is still home and home health care is coming in to do wound care for his legs as well and PT and OT. His legs and feet have been very swollen and lots of fluid so try to get the fluid off so the wounds can heal. His first wound is healing nicely but there is a small second one on the same leg that looks like there is still a localized infection. The doctor cultured it yesterday to see what is going on and we may need to do another round of IV antibiotics at meritus infusion center . Waiting on those results. The fluid pills have to be stopped because it’s impairing his kidney function more so trying to manage swelling so wounds can heal and also manage the pain. He unfortunately has gout in both his feet so between that and the swelling he has been in a lot of pain and the therapy for the hip has been slow but we will get there! He hasn’t been sleeping well either . It’s been hard on him emotionally and mentally.
Dad likes to be busy and he misses teaching and playing. The infections in his legs are not contagious so he is up for visitors ❤️ Thank you for your continued prayers and support!

Latest update on Dad , we are discharging him tomorrow from
The skilled nursing facility. Unfortunately dad now has an infection in his lower leg now (in a small wound)and based off of certain factors we feel his care and rehab going forward will be a better fit for him at Home. He will be going to meritus infusion center for antibiotic infusions for 10 days and home health for wound care and rehab for about two weeks and then rehab at an outpatient facility for the hip. Thank you so much for everyone’s support! I have learned a lot navigating all of this and that you have to be an advocate for your loved one! Never stop pushing and asking questions. Get second opinions, etc. This is the plan as of right now but of course things can change . Again thank you to everyone who has been supporting him and our family during this time!

Thank you so much for your consideration and for all your love , prayers and support ! I just told him that this was created and he is crying because he didn’t even know this was a thing ❤️

Trying to keep everyone who has been asking as updated as best as I can , this all has been very traumatic, emotionally and physically exhausting and we have just been so worried. Which I’m sure many of you know the feeling! Mom’s been spending every night at the hospital and I’ve been trying to be there as much as I can! To recap , Sunday morning dad fell at home and broke his hip, Monday at 4 they began the surgery and before the surgeon even started he went in to cardiac arrest and they were able to get him back with chest compressions etc. they finished the surgery ( they did a nail procedure on his hip so he can bear weight quicker than a typical break) he remained sedated and was moved to the ICU. They told us he would remain there over night and in the morning start to ween him off the vent and other meds. We got a call that he woke up by himself and they were able to take the ventilator out. Dad already has some other chronic conditions and not very mobile , so all of these things make it difficult and more at risk. They are finally getting the blood pressure up and sugar down. Heart looks like it’s functioning ok. His legs are swollen but that to be expected with his kidneys but also a concern because he’s not been mobile. As of today they are keeping him at the hospital for a few more days( who’s knows) but because he will require intense physical therapy they are wanting him to go to a skilled nursing facility for a few weeks once he is released for rehabilitation. As you can imagine he just wants to go home and is having a hard time emotionally ( we all are) . Does anyone have experience with a similar situation? We haven’t gotten a lot more details because today was only he second day of PT at the hospital. Has anyone chosen home health over a skilled nursing facility? Hiring a heath aid etc? Trying to advocate for him and give him the best possible treatment and making sure it’s best for him. Any suggestions or advice is greatly welcomed. It’s a lot to navigate and we so very thankful for all of your thought and prayers and encouragement! Thank you to all friends and family for being so supportive and helpful! It’s means the world. He has his phone and is up for phone calls if you want to check in with him!
