scbound: They kept him overnight because his ekg was abnormal and they were worried he was at risk for a heart attack

Plus he had no appetite, and was very weak/disoriented for days and seemingly just getting worse.

He's diabetic, has a pacemaker, etc so I think a lot of it was also just being extra cautious especially because of his age

They put him on oxygen and it has really helped. I haven't been in to see him just yet because I had to work some but mom says he

seems more like himself so I'm hoping that means he might be getting released today

Latest update.. he isn't coming home today and I'm not sure when he will be :l they are transferring him to the big hospital tomorrow

They are waiting on tests regarding his kidneys.. also has heart damage

and they have a whole slew of tests they want to run

let me know what's going on, really hope he gets better soon... I will keep you in my prayers.

They are moving him to the big hospital now to run another test.. not looking like he's gonna be coming home today either.

Found out he had a car accident & totaled his car a week before the trip but he didn't tell anyone.

i'm sorry, mel

He has a blocked valve.. we'll be talking to the doctor in the am for more exact details but right now looking like he needs surgery

Just trying to figure out whether he's gonna have it here or be stubborn and go back to NJ

rose: well I hope he decides on what's best for him right now because to go back would be a bad idea...
