Hi peeps... I was just told that my dad was admitted in the hospital yesterday. Nobody would tell me what is going on . They said it is routine but my dad is not the "it is only routine fine I will go to the hospital". He does not complain for anything and for him to agree to be confined in the hospital is definitely not routine . Please help me send positive energy and happy thoughts his way. Sorry to dampen your morning, I am just so discombobulated rigght now I am rambling everywhere. Both my parents retired in 2000 and decided to go back home since they are not to keen about winter. Which means flying back home takes about 24 hours Please pray that I would not need to do an emergency leave to fly home

thanks for listening...

Hi Antss! My dad has been going through some scary medical things lately too - so I know how anxious you are feeling. We just have to keep telling ourselves that things will be ok! Where is "home?" (For THEM - not YOU - I know "home" for YOU is WDW!!!!)

Hi all, Philadelphia Here. Thanks to Ants

Hey Antss - hope all is good with you Dad. It is scary being far away and not knowing what is going on. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Keep us posted.

I will keep you and your family in my prayers, and I pray everything turns out okay. I can't imagine being that far from loved ones and the worry that goes with it. I have sons in FL and CA and when they have had medical things going on it was a strain. It is so frustrating when you just want to be there and support. I will pray for healing and strength for your father and you. Take care.

it is now 1PM their time and I was able to talk to my mom. All the blood work and scans and echocardio etc were negative. They just cannot find why the swelling of the left leg wont go down. He is now on triple dose antibiotic and will keep him for further observation. I did have them faxed me all his results and so far my friend at work did go through the result and have said the same thing all they can think of is that it is the varicose veines that os causing havoc and infected. Where did the infection originated they cannot pin point. The blood cultures are still cooking again mrsa and vre came out negative which is a big relief for me. I am somewhat releive also when I talked to my mom ( just hang up with her minutes before I started typing this). My mom is the panicky weak type. It has been me and my dad who have been her leaning post but for a change she sound positive and perky and tells me over and over that there is really nothing to worry... budget wise they are OK. Doctors and nurses has been in tow 24/7 I just hope that she really means what she tells me and not just making face so I wont worry.

Thank you for all your prayers and positive thoughts.

Neds... you made it!! and thank you


I just woke up... got a call from mom... since I explained to her that I am taking my aunt to WDW ( my dad's almost sister but really a 1st cousin... long story.. ones you really get to know me.. my life is just a plain long story... bear with me ) and was planning on just postponing.. but mom explained what else are we gonna be doing here at home since yes! they are in the hospital but the hospital is 24 hours away by flight and mom explained not to tell my aunt so yup I am telling her about this by the end of the trip , hopefully by then my dad is out of the hospital. My dad send me pictures via text messages and he looks pretty OK... He is a walking patient which he is encourage to do so.. (picture of him at the nurses stations with all the nurses.. he does look like he is enjoying this ). He did sound in good spirit and again it is "just" the swelling of his thigh ~ his words ~ which have subsided a little already according to him. he even got 1st dibs on what to eat coerced the dietary to give him extra since he explained that he is on vacations . The doctor did not give him any restrictions... my dad is not a junk eater and eats healthy which is why I guess everybody were not ordered on the extras he asked.. like veggies and milk So there we go... the weather is yukky... it is dreary and gloomy but atleast I got some good news... would be great but for right now I can calm down a little bit.

Again thank you for letting me vent and whine and complain...

Sorry Neds if you came in with a post full of anxiety.. I promise to do better next time

I guess that's good news for you ANTS.
