The update

For those who are interested, my fathers fever seems to have corrected itself with a bit of extra fluid. Who'd have thought? He was assessed by the dietitian who noted that he was a wee bit dry, and that perhaps additional fluids through his feeding tube were required, given the inconsistency with which he takes food and fluid orally.

And his bed was finally fixed as well...except that now the foot of the bed will not go down so he is all crunched up in his bed when the head is raised.

Oh, and there seems to be an outbreak of diarrhea on the unit, and guess what? My Dad has it too. Within 24 hours his bum and nether regions look like the flame on a blow torch. Needless to say, I took in a really nice thick barrier cream to protect what is left of his skin.
