Dad update
So much has happened, but I'll make it as short as possible.
We went to visit over Memorial day, and he looked horrible. Pale, withered. He's hallucinating.
The pancreas has healed, but there are 3 infections in his gut. He's on antibiotics, and has drains for the pockets of infection. They're not getting better.
They've stopped all medication except for the antibiotics (and they've changed them) to try to help with his mental status. It's not working. He's hallucinating, disoriented, confused. It's getting worse.
This past week, his heart stopped for 7 seconds. They moved him to the cardiac floor but don't know why it stopped and can't find anything wrong. I went to visit again Monday.
Mom decided yesterday that it was time to transfer him to Hopkins because whatever they're doing in Philly just isn't working.
I'm a mess. Complete, utter mess. I can hold it together most of the time, but I'm just not ok. I'm exhausted and have no motivation (so the house is a mess), and am so down. DH is being great, and being able to just break down helps a bit. I just don't know how to cope.
