Readmitted to the hospital
The last several days Dad still hasn't been feeling very energetic. His appetite is down, but thankfully he drinks Ensure or Boost to help support his calories. His WBC (infection fighters) is the lowest is has been. Yesterday, dad starting having diarrhea. This morning he went for his daily visit and labs. The bad news is that he had a fever and zero energy. Because of this he was readmitted to the hospital today. They are giving him IV fluids to help hydrate him from all the water loss from the diarrhea. He is also getting antibiotics to fight whatever infection he might have. He is finally getting some rest, since he didn't sleep well last night. They are hoping to possibly discharge him tomorrow night, but I am not counting my chickens yet. I anticipate he will be there for a couple of days before they send him home. Pray for a speedy recovery!
