My 88 year old F-I-L fell again
Posted: 10 Aug 2024, 13:06
This time down a flight of stairs.
He suffered a tiny brain bleed and a cracked T-3, and a lot of bruising.
The Docs say the brain bleed and cracked T-3 should heal on their own with time.
The Hospital wants to release him to a transitional facility to start PT, but the bruising is so bad he can't transfer out of his hospital bed on his own,
which is what they need to see him accomplish before moving to transitional care.
Now his lungs are filling up from lack of moving, and the risk of pneumonia is very great.
He could use a prayer if you have one to spare.
