It is getting late - I get nervous when the kids have been asleep for 3 hours and I'm still up - but I wanted to share about Bryan's dad, who is in the hospital.
Last month, my father-in-law spent over a week in the hospital for GI bleeding - got lot of blood and they needed to stop is blood thinners (which he takes for CHF). He has been taking it easy since but trying to keep his spirits up and start living again.
So yesterday, my MIL was searching their house for him and she found him in the guest bathroom eating potpourri. Very bizarre, right? He was just acting weird and after an hour - and him moving on to eating postits... she took him the hospital.
He is still there... not much better. His sodium and potassium levels were really out of whack. Low sodium levels will give someone confusion and I heard that his sodium level was 10 to 14 points below normal. They are still testing him to see what is going on.
Meanwhile, my MIL is staying with him 24 hours a day to keep him calm. I guess he becomes agitated easily (could be the brain swelling from the low sodium).
This poor guy can't catch a break.
They are 3 hours away and between all the kids, my school schedule, his regular job and football (let us not forget that football started last week), Bryan cannot travel over. He couldn't go when he was in the ICU last month either.
This has always been a concern for me with his parents living so far away... what happens when one of them is ill? For this weekend - Bryan's sister is over there. Holiday weekend and all.
Keeping close on his status is all we can do, for now.
Just asking for an extra prayer... the guy would like to enjoy his retirement.
