He was running a low grade fever this morning, but because he has been diagnosed and prescribed the proper medication, and his temperature is now normal, they say, he is being released today. He will be brought to VVH with his IVs attached and with instructions for the administration of his antibiotics for 2 more days. And, No, it is not better for him to remain in the Hospital for treatment rather than in the Vermont Home, which is not a hospital. Reason given is that he will be more comfortable in his usual environment and also at less risk for pneumonia. When asked how he could have traveled by taxi, as an option this morning, or in our car, the answer was that they hadn't worked out the details at the time. When M. called for information later in the day, the nurse remarked that she had just seen her dad walking down the hall in his walker. M. said it couldn't be, so she said she'd check and came back to say, "Yes, you're right!
He says he's feeling good. I'll find out more tonight.
