FIL & MIL In Hospital
My wife has been nursing her 85 year old father for several months after he had heart valve replacement surgery.
His recovery was going slow but well then a few weeks ago he had two major infections that almost killed him. He had an infection in his lungs and a different kind in his colon. The medicines he needed for each conflicted with each other so it was very difficult to treat. He seemed to recover from that and has had good days and bad days with dizziness causing him to fall sometimes.
He has been very anxious to get back to his home in a nearby state and finally the Dr. released him for my wife to take him home this weekend. The night before he left he exhibited some of the symptoms he had before he was diagnosed with that infection and he fell in the middle of the night while trying to go to the restroom.
Friday he seemed pretty good though and was excited about going home. It is about a 7 hour drive and he was fine until just before they got there he became very ill again. He felt bad yesterday and a few minutes ago my wife called and said that she had gotten a call that an ambulance had been called for him and she is meeting them at the hospital. If it is those infections they have about a 33% mortality rate for someone his age.
Yesterday my mother in law also had to go to the hospital. She is a parapalegic who had some surgery a couple of months ago she has been having issues with and now she has an infection and is going to have to have a second surgery.
My FIL and MIL are divorced but thankfully both live in the same area so both are at the same hospital. Makes it a little easier on my wife.

Re: FIL & MIL In Hospital
The good news is that my wife's mom and dad's hospital rooms are just two doors apart!

Re: FIL & MIL In Hospital
That's an awful lot to deal with, CC1. I'll pray for your wife and her parents too.
