After a whole year without any hospital stays, my father has been back for the past week now. He has a lung infection, low Hb levels and a kidney condition.

His Hb levels have gone up to the minimum level required, his lungs are clearing up and he will have to have his kidneys monitored for the rest of his life. For now they are going to give him meds for this, but if or when it worsens, he'll have to go for dialysis. We're not there yet, so no one's panicking, but it's sad nonetheless...

I hope your Father continues to improve Poppy, it's such a worry when our elderly parents begin to deteriorate.

Hugs,

Elaine

((Poppy)) - at least they seem to be on top of it and you'll all know what to look for.  It's hard watching our parents age, isn't it?  I hope he's back home and feeling more comfortable soon.

Sorry to hear that Poppy, it is hard to watch our parents ageing.

However it sounds as though he is being well looked after and hopefully he will be home soon and feeling much better.

Hugs

Oh Pops I'm so sorry to hear about your Dad.
Hopefully he'll be able to hold off going on dialysis for quite a while {{{hugs}}}
