WALKING PAPERS? RELIEF.

Walking papers? Well, not quite yet but the good news is the 90 year old patient we call Dad has been moved from the ICU neurology floor as his low blood count was not due to a concussion. 

Although he will still be on an ICU floor, a mid afternoon GI scope and physician diagnosed the pain, nausea, fogginess and dizziness due to numerous small ulcers in his small intestine. All this can be treated with meds which will attend to those symptoms and blood loss. 

The ortho doc still needs to rule in on the immobility of his arm from his fall... probably some physical therapy.

The patient might not be happy with a liquid diet for right now but is certainly relieved with the prognosis. 

Whew, we all are relieved a source has been found. We all will sleep better tonight knowing that walking papers will be arriving.
