Dad moved around

Dad was moved to the fifth floor for a planned colonoscopy this week, but had to move back to progressive care because his heart rate was erratic. Gail spoke directly to his doctor today, and he outlined that they're dealing with a number of different issues from his lungs, to his heart and kidneys. Everything is connected, and when one area has problems, it starts impacting the other areas. He may have to go on dialysis sooner rather than later, but the doctor hopes to get his strength built back up so that he can return home after a stint in the rehab facility. I think he still has some time left in the hospital until they can get him stabilized and over this rough spell.
