He's 85 and he fell 3 or 4 days ago(sorry, I haven't had much sleep since so my time is a little screwed up). He didn't hit his head or break anything, just skinned his knees and bruised his elbow, but it really shook him up. I brought him home with me and have been watching over him the whole time. At first he was eating and drinking fine., and his oxygen was good. Then he started going down hill. He ate less and less and couldn't drink water without coughing and spitting it back up, and he has extreme diarreah . His oxygen went down to 89 and his pulse went up to 122. Got extremely weak. I had to call the ambulance though I was afraid to. Of course the doc says he has COVID which is BULLSHIT!

Prayers for both your father and you. I've been down the same road with parents, fren. See if there's a reason he fell. There may be something else going on here that you're not aware of. Spend as much time as you can with him so that you know what the hospital is doing. Ask questions and don't be afraid to stand up to the doctors if you don't like what they're telling you. Your father needs an advocate, especially now with all of this COVID nonsense. May God bless you, fren! Keep us posted.
