Update on my dad - he is home!! He started physiotherapy at the hospital and they gave him a broken crutch which almost sent him sprawling. He is now at home receiving better care. He is able to sit in a recliner and has proper meals. The only problem is that my mom has to look after him and she is also elderly.

She is very tired. I spoke to dad and he is in good spirits. He is determined to recover.

This is fantastic news Coral! Hospitals are no place for sick people. :-) You know what I'm saying.
This has truly gladdened my heart and I know you must be relieved that he will be better cared for.
I will continue to pray for his full recovery and for your Mum to have the strength to get through this tough time.
Hugs and blessings, Meg

Glad to hear your dad is home. Sounds like he is safer there than at that hospital. Is there any government assisted home help in their area. As a care giver myself beleive me I know that your mum realy needs it. I get help twice a week with my son. Hugs Joyce

Thanks for the update! So glad your dad is able to be home. Your mom needs to take it as easy as possible, so she does not get sick from being a caretaker. Hope she is able to get someone to assist with his care, and give her breaks to rest!
Also, hope he completely recovers to his normal self soon!

Thanks for the update. Glad that your dad is back home and in good spirits. Your mother or yourself could ask for help, to assist your mother caring for him. It isn't fair expecting her to be the only caregiver.
Hugs to all of you! Lidia

The fact that your dad is in good spirits and has the determination to recover is half the battle. I am glad he is home even though it is hard on your mom. It is so much more comfortable. I am convinced he will get better real soon.

It's tiring being the caregiver when you are also up there in age. After a few days hopefully your dad and mom will get in a routine that will not be so tiring on her. Is there anyone -friend, neighbor, other relative, someone from church that can stop in a give her a rest?
