I can't figure it out and its killing me.
A little history my father-in-law is 80 yrs old, has Parkinson on just his right side.
Monday he fell broke his collarbone
Monday night his wife put a catheter in
Tuesday he wouldn't eat and was a little weak
Wednesday he passed a blood clot in his catheter, so we took him back to the hospital they said he was fine. He complained about constipation so he got some laxatives.
Thursday he still wont eat I forced a little food down him but he was drinking a lot so I wasn't to worried, he started diarrhea Thursday morning.
Friday the diarrhea is so bad he can't make it to the bathroom or the potty chair next to his bed, and now he is vomiting.
Friday night he is vomiting violently and he said he could taste blood, we had to call the fire department to get him to the hospital he was so weak he could make it down the stairs, we thought it was because without his Parkinson meds he cant walk and he keeps vomiting them up.
Dr says he is fine but they would run test.
My father in law says he can feel a abstraction in his bowel and his throat.
Dr says no way
Test one kidney failure
Test two abstraction in the bowel
Test three abstraction in the throat
Test four fluid in his lungs
Test five blood in his vomit
Friday night Saturday morning the put a stomach pump in and then his heart stopped they shocked him and he came back to us.
Saturday morning surgeon said he will doe without surgery and he hast a very slim chance of making it out of surgery.
Saturday afternoon he makes it out of surgery they took12 inches of bowel but they leave him open
Sunday they try to close him up but he is way to swollen. They take 6 more inches of bowel
Monday they push fluids like crazy and his kidneys are ok
Tuesday they keep pushing fluids and start draining the fluid from his chest. Schedule surgery for Wednesday to close him up. They tell us he wont be able to come back home he will need a rest home when he leaves the hospital.
I do home and hospice I didn't see this coming at all. He wont go to a rest home I will take care of him.
I am having a hard time dealing with this I know I did everything I could but I feel like I should of see it early made him go in sooner. I know the reason he didn't want to go in is because my husband and I were renewing our marriage, we ended up doing it at his parents house because his father could leave the house. I am trying not to stress on it because I am 8 months pregnant, but I am stressed its my job to keep him healthy.
