Dad is still in the hospital. He's marginally better. Still struggling with shortness of breath, but has improved somewhat with additional diuretics.
He's continuing to fight swelling in his legs, high potassium levels, low hemoglobin levels, exhaustion, and bad food. They have him on a renal diet, which is apparently even worse than the diabetic meals he was given in his last hospitalization. The topic of food service is his focus in every conversation, so I know he's feeling a little better.
He has been too weak to use his walker, so they catheterized him this past weekend. He's miserable about that, but is becoming resigned to it. As those complaints recede, his observations on the hospital's ill-planned placement of outlets and bedside phones are taking their place. Just what you would expect from a retired engineer.
I'm sure the SI mojo, thoughts, and prayers have helped him. I know they've been a great source of comfort for me. Thank you all.
