Here We Go Agian
Howard got out of the nursing home yesterday at 10:30. He was doing good granted he was tired and went back to bed shortly after he got home but we planned on this. He came out for lunch and was talking and everything seemed to be good. He was having fun seeing the boys and the boys where happy that he was home then dinner time came around. Everyone got up to the table and Howard had a very hard time staying awake. We had to keep waking him up and Shirlee ended up having to feed him. After a while he said he was done needed to use the restroom and then go to bed. Shirlee was helping him to the back when he started to say that he was weak and said he was going to fall. Next thing we know my dad is behind him trying to keep him from hitting the floor. It took four of us to get him up and into his walker. The decision was then made to take him to the VA. My dad and Gma took him and when they got there my dad go a wheelchair to put him in and he passed out again. They got him into the ED and they took him right back. After some test they found out that he has a bladder and an UTI infection. He is also dehydrated but that is something we already knew. My dad had to go home today so it is nice that they kept him so that my Grandma didn't have to deal with him on her own. We will find out more tomorrow after they do more tests and we see more doctors.
