My Dad is going home by ambulance today. He is weak and doesn't feel good.
His fluid levels rose after his lasix IV was stopped. Oral lasix dosages will have to be increased to keep the fluid out of him so he can breath.
Hospice has delivered all the equipment he will need. Hospital bed, wheel chair, shower chair, potty chair, and oxygen bottle. They will check on him every day. At first. Someone will be at his home 24 hours a day to make sure he is comfortable.
I will drive down tomorrow. I will not spend my life wishing. The drive there will not be easy. The drive home will be unbearable.
