at 2:30 this morning the VA home rushed my dad to the hospital. Respiration of 30 and delusional.
Lungs with water in then.

Father God protect and heal.

Amen, Galen, AMEN!!!

Prayers sent for a quick and full recovery for your dad.

my dad is 93. WWII vet. He has aspirational pneumonia and a U.T.I.  Mean and cussing today.
Didn't know me or my brother.

May God grant his heart peace and his soul salvation

For all:

Sent this to Dan via email, but having worked in a SService agency dealing with older adults, I learned that a UTI will cause older folks (?) to go loopy overnight...act like they have dementia.

Dan knows his dad has a UTI so that is likely the reason for "not knowing" his kids.  

All others, if an aging parent suddenly starts to act like they have dementia, demand a UTI BLOOD test culture, not a urinalysis as the UTI often doesn't show in the urine test...

Too many older Americans get stuck in a dementia ward when a UTI is the culprit.  FWIW...

As I told Dave , my dad has dementia  already.
The UTI made it worse. He has to have a swallow test to see how much is going into his lungs.

I will keep your Dad in my prayers

dan,

My dad was on that gruel stuff the last 8-9 months of his life...he'd ask me what it was as I was feeding him, I"d ask what it tasted like, his comment was that of a farm boy...

I told him it looked like that too, so maybe that was what it was!  He'd just shake his head... but he ate it!

Brings back a lot of melancholy memories, Dan.

Prayers up for you and yours!

Keep the Son in your eyes!

Prayers for your Dad

Prayers said

My dad is better , but still in hospital. Thank you for your prayers.

Praise God and prayer continues

Amen on praises!!

When it is time, Lord knows and takes them with or without our blessing!

Prayers for your discernment when to "let go!"

Keep the Son in your eyes!

I see you posted he's better. God bless and pray he still gets better

He is improving still. When IV antibiotics are complete he will go back to the V. A. home.
Thank you all for praying.

Excellent news, Dan!

Happy beyond words for you...and your Dad.  

Praying is a privilege!

Thank you, Lord!

Dad is back at the home but very weak. Doc said he will get the pneumonia again, and is wearing down badly. I pray the Lord will take him gently soon.
