Dad was released from Meritus 3 days before Thanksgiving. The infections were under control. However, the suspected root of said infections was the biliary tree, which still needed to be addressed to make sure no more infections occurred. Dad was given a 7 day script of Levaquin to make sure it completely knocked out the bacterial infections.
We had a nice family gathering on Thanksgiving Day with Dad's side of the family and all of my siblings and nephews and niece. We ate a lot, watched a lot of football, and ate some more.
Last Monday, I took Dad down to Baltimore to have his 4th ERCP done to take a look at the entire biliary tree. Dr. Darwin was able to put a stent inside the existing biliary stent. This is the 4th time Dad has had this procedure done, but for some reason, he had a tough time in recovery, and it took longer than usual to get the nausea under control and get him to a state where he could travel home.
Well, he's not improved. Since then, his appetite has decreased significantly. Food tastes weird. He's very tired and very weak. I'm at a loss as to WHY.
So please, just pray.
