My Dad is back in the hospital... same symptoms as before. His neck hurt and real stiff, he is so dizzy and weak that he can't even sit up on his own, and when the docs/nurses get him to stand, his blood pressure goes up real high. Last time (about 2 months ago) they said it was a reaction to the medication he took, but he didn't have any medication this time.

His neck has been hurting him for some time, but the doc just said it was arthritis. He didn't even run any other tests. I kept urging my Dad to get a second opinion.

My Dad was admitted in the hospital early this afternoon. They've ran all kinds of tests... catscan, MRI, EKG, neck X-Ray, tons of blood work. So far, they are clueless. For those of you that remember, this is the hospital and docs that I have little to no faith in. My Dad and Mom seem to love this hospital though. But, to prove my point.... my brothers had to help my Dad to the car because he could barely sit up, let alone walk. When my Mom got to the hospital, it took them over 20 minutes to locate a wheelchair to get him out of the car!!!!! What kind of hospital doesn't have a wheelchair accessible in their emergency room?

I am just so upset right now. I love my Dad and can't bare the thought of anything seriously being wrong.


And, to make things worse, MIL (TLCDad's Mom) has bronchitis. She sounded horrible on the phone. We can't seem to get a break and we could really use some P&PT's.

Maddie&EthansMom replied: I will be praying for your family, Dee Dee. I'm so sorry to hear about your dad. I know what you mean about not catching a break. We've had such a rough time in our families lately, too. I will also pray for the doctors while your dad is under their care. I would be irritated, too.
