[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is the OP. My dad fell overnight, my mom found him this morning covered in his own feces and vomit. She got him cleaned up and in bed (he doesn’t want her to call ambulance) and I talked with him - he was cheerful and upbeat. I have no idea what to make of this, I’m horrified for him that he fell and spent time on the bathroom floor, alone, I’m horrified for my poor mom and at the same time, he’s happy and feeling better and resting in bed. We will get the results of his blood work later this morning....[/quote] Call the primary care doctor's emergency line. And make it clear he doesn't want to go back to the hospital--assuming you clear that with him, that he's really willing to die rather than go. Depending on the outcome, if this isn't something easily treated with antibiotics, get hospice involved pronto.[/quote]
