[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP here with “well I’ll just go to sleep dad.” — Hypothermia. [/quote] No offense, pp, but your dad would not die of hypothermia in his bed from one night without power in this area. He has clothes and blankets. He’d be fine. [/quote] The elderly cannot temperature regulate like healthy adults. Good chance even in one night, he could have died of hypothermia.[/quote] The elderly are not reptiles. They won't die in a 50 degree house.[/quote] Something similar happened to my mother last week. She had her thermostat set at 61 degrees. She fell out of bed and decided to just go to sleep there. By the time she was found (who know how many hours later), her body temperature was down to 94.7.[/quote]
