Ok dad went back in hospital today. He had thrown up and had bad chills and a fever. And Tested negative for covid! They initially thought he had a urinary infection and pneumonia. Now they they they are not sure about that but have him on an antibiotic? Then- they found a blood clot in the swelled leg! I guess the other doctors missed it? He had Two previous scans? They told my dad maybe just a blocked lymph node use some compression for swelling-but never addressed it farther. His pain was bad in his leg & swelling to the point he was using a cane.. so hes on heprin right now. Admitted. Mom cant be there because of all the covid.. so shes at home:( -but I think i need to see if my dad will let me have permission to talk to docs on his behalf. I just feel like he is NOT getting answers he trusts what the docs say and then we have always found something more later or different- i dont understand. And i dont understand how they dont know if he has pneumonia or urine issue.
And noNe of the doctors are working together or for him. Im utterly frustrated. 🙁
Reading on heprin it doesnt get rid of clot? Just thins blood.? What will happen with clot? Will his swelling go away?
