Thanks for the update Brent. I hope he improves.

My thoughts are with you and your family.

Thanks Steph! =)

Here's the latest. On Monday, he was put in a cardiac care unit; his heart was starting to go haywire and he also developed a high fever. He was in the unit for several days, but was placed in a rehab room Thursday and is doing much better. Needless to say, he's sleeping a lot *LOL*, but that's not unexpected.

My brother and I are going to go see him in a little bit from the timestamp on this post. Hopefully he'll be in very good shape. More later...

Here's another update: Dad got through surgery well - had some pins inserted into the fracture - and he's resting comfortably in hospital. He's on pain meds and is sleeping well, from what I was told.

Thanks Sentinet, it's very much appreciated.

However, I have some pretty bad news. Friday night, at the nursing home, dad fell down and broke one of his hips. How it happened, I have not been told.

He was taken back to hospital immediately and, at this moment, is scheduled to be taken into surgery to insert some pins into his hip. Hopefully the surgery will go well, but at his age and stage of health, I think it may be safe to say dad might be in some trouble.

As soon as I know how the operation went, I'll let everyone know. Needless to say, this is not a good break, no pun intended. I just hope he gets through things well.

Glad your dad is feeling better.  I hope your family gets to have some quality time together in this time of need.

A new update: Dad had a couple of test runs with the new tube today, and they both went well, so he was discharged from the hospital this afternoon. He's now in the nursing home for rehab and he's doing pretty well; he's actually gained some strength.

Thanks very much for all your kind thoughts and wishes; I really, really appreciate it. And, of course, I'll keep everyone posted on how he's doing as conditions warrant.

Here's an update: Talked with mom late this morning; he had the tube inserted into him yesterday and was scheduled to have a test run or two with it at some point today. In fact, a nurse was walking into his room when I was talking with her, so that may well have been the first test.

If all goes well, he'll be discharged from hospital as soon as tomorrow, after which he'll be heading to a nursing home.

More updates as they become available...
