We have been here at Mayo for two weeks! Six nights in the ICU! Now on on floor six Domitello (hope I spelled that right). We almost lost my dad last Wednesday when our local hospital failed to tell us for 24 hours after they knew that he was septic and had MRSA in his joints. We fought to have him moved knowing that they could not handle his situation. Dad is non weight bearing on both legs so now that the infection is under control we are dealing with bed sores and the fact he more than likely won't walk for a year. Any advice would be great. They want him transferred to acute level 1 care and we really don't have a clue. They put in a pic line and he will be on antibiotics for at least six weeks 🙁 ICU trama is real for us and him. We have been living in an Airbnb for two weeks (my mom and I). Just looking for supportband advice!
