[quote=Anonymous]Thanks everyone- I really appreciated the advice to stay calm for dad. And it was also a good reminder that they love to travel and had been so looking forward to this trip. I learned there was missing info. The doctors wouldn’t talk to me because they hadn’t spoken with my dad yet either. The hospital took her into ER and family wasn’t allowed while they were stabilizing her. I also realized we need a pre-trip list where I have their travel insurance info and they carry copies of their powers of attorney etc. There is paperwork that needed to be completed for anyone other than spouse to get info- and my mom wasn’t in any shape to consent. This was a good wake up call for future trips. Things are improving quickly- rehydrated/ blood sugar stable etc The hospital says she will likely be released tomorrow morning.[/quote]
