First off, thank you again for all of the outpouring of support and genuine concern for my father! First it was my son, who is improving each day, and now this.
He is a "cantankerous" 80 year old. He was admitted to the hospital yesterday morning with a temperture of 105, couldn't stand because of cellulites in the leg in which he had a knee replacement 4 years ago and would NOT allow the ambulance to be called. So, my two younger brothers got him there.
To make a long story short, he also had elevated BP, sugar levels and they found blood poisoning, among a few other things. So, today, they will remove the artificial knee, clean out the joint and replace it with a temporary joint. The utmost concern are the infections he has and to try to remedy those.
This will be quite a drawn out affair, but at least he is in very capable hands. Thank you again for all the love and concern you have shown!
