Well, the saga continues

Well, the semester's over (thank goodness) and I am very happy with the results of all my test. Last weekend Dad brought me to Champaign and we met up with mom having a nice Mothers day eat out and evening in a hotel. It was a nice get away for her but it was much to little. It has been three weeks now and everyone is exhausted. Mom has been going home more but it still always running between home and the hospital.

So to update you on Grandpa's condition.
The last time I posted I think I said he might be moving to intermediate care. Well, he did. Then after a couple of days there they moved him to Rehab. Things were looking good and he was progressing. Then I got here are that night his fever spiked (102.7) and his breathing got rough. They say they think his Pneumonia came back and started him on antibiotics. Then they put him on something to I guess to help with the fluid in his lungs. After that his blood pressure dropped (a lot) along with his temp. (around 98.2 or so) and they decided they were going to have to move him back to intermediate care. The biggest concern to us that doesn't seem to be that important to the doctor or nurses is his speech. It had been find all this time and now its really slurred a mumbley. I don't know, maybe it is just a side effect of the infection one of then other 30 things that have been going on. It is just hard when you don't know anything and have to go by what they are telling you. I mean we found out that the one medication they put him on is known to lower blood pressure and they waited till his BP was so low and they had to put him back in IMC to finally decide to take him off his high blood pressure meds.

I don't know what is going to happen but right now he is stable again and they are planning to move him back to rehab in a couple of days.

I will post more when I know more.

Thanks for your continued thoughts and prayers.
Love to all,
Shae
