Dad is finally home

Dad was finally discharged from Mayo Hospital last Friday, 3/1/13. He was so happy to get out of the hospital. He said he was so tired of someone coming in every two hours to take blood. He was becoming concerned that he wouldn't have any blood left if he didn't get out soon. :0)
He seems to be doing OK, although he is very weak and tired, but he is very content sitting in his lazy boy chair in the living room watching TV. Tamie has to help him get in and out of bed, and his appetite is improving now that he is eating good home cooking instead of hospital food. Must admit though, Mayo's food was really good.

Dad has a mass in his right lung that seems to be growing rapidly, however, he also has an infection on top of the mass that prevented Mayo from doing a biopsy to see if the mass is cancer and if so what kind. Unfortunately because they were not able to do the biopsy, dad is not able to do chemo or radiation.
Tamie is taking care of dad at home and we also have Hospice involved in his care as well. Hospice took care of mom before she died and we have nothing but praise for these nurses and doctors. We know that dad is in very good hands with Hospice, and a nurse will be coming out 3 times a week to check on dad, bath him, give him any medications above and beyond his normal medications, and do assessments on his health for the doctor assigned to dad.
