day 44

Now dad has a room at the hospital.
room 1200.
The official diagnosis today, given by a indecipherable Doctor
is as follows
He has pneumonia
he is dehydrated
he has a urine infection
which
has entered his blood
so
he has a blood infection too.

This means it is quite serious... how serious?
WHo knows?
I tried to ask the doctor but...
he was so expressionless
almost cold
he asked us if Dad had a living will
but I think that that is just protocol.
There is a chance they may have to do something if the blood infection gets worse (for example his blood pressure mae drop rapidly)
But i feel that that wont happen.
When we took him in he wasn't so bad.
I think it is on a scale with mononucleosis ... which I know is a terrible thing to have
but it isn't deadly
especially when you have it at a hospital
hooked up to antibiotics
and getting daily care...
plus my father just doesn't look that bad.

so I guess we wait for two days
the doc said
he should improve by then.
