...and back to Monaco Parkway

They're tranferring Dad back to Monaco Parkway this evening - Mom & I sent him off with lots of hugs and kisses.

He'll be in room 106 (we think). Visitors welcome any time, but do be sure to wash your hands before and after - we'd like to keep him infection-free this time!!

In the next couple of days we'll be gettin Dad set up in a wheelchair, so we're looking forward to seeing how he responds to that.

ed has moved to select hospital

Ed has moved to Select Hospital, which is co-located with Presbyterian / St. Luke's. Select is a long-term acute care hospital (LTAC), so it is oriented to patients who do not need such intense care. Ed is stable and his terperature is normal, based on the multiple antibiotics he is receiving, but the doctor is trying to avoid the ping-pong between hospital and nursing home by having Ed taken care of in the LTAC to make sure he's not developing some other infection.

ed's back at rose hospital

Not a very good sign that Ed went back to the hospital three days after finishing his last round of IV antibiotics. Sigh.

ed's back at monaco parkway

Ed went back to Monaco Parkway last Sunday - guess I forgot to update the blog.

He'll be on IV antibiotics for another five days, then we'll see how he does. He occasionally runs a low-grade fever, but at least not a high fever. Other than that, there's no change.

back to rose hospital

Yesterday Ed spiked a fever of 103.5 degrees, so they sent him to the hospital. Turns out that he has a urinary tract infection. Not all the tests are back, so we don't know for sure that he has no other infections going on. They're treating him with IV antibiotics, and his fever is a little better.

ed's back at monaco parkway again

Ed is doing much better and was released from the hospital late last Friday, for which we are very thankful!

He's still in room 117 at Monaco Parkway.

ed is in rose hospital with infections

Ed was running a high fever Thursday evening, and was sent to Rose Hospital. He has a recurrence of the GI bacteria "C. dif" and a urinary tract infection and an infection in the lung secretions, so he was a pretty sick puppy when he went in.

Hopefully the antibiotics will help get the infections under control and his fever will come down a lot.
