Dad Update and Pet Therapy

Hi folks and once again purrs to all who need them.
Dad was transferred to the nursing home yesterday. I got off the
phone with his doctor a little while ago. I am mildly furious (!)
that the hospital didn't give him some rather critical information.
He knew they'd been giving Dad "breathing treatments". They *didn't*
tell him Dad used the Advair inhaler at home for emphysema nor did
they indicate what, if any, his oxygen readings were when they gave
him the breathing treatments. The doctor was calling me because they
were pushing 4 litres of oxygen and couldn't get an oxygen level on
him. Oh good lord! When I explained Dad used an inhaler he almost
exploded himself. Why didn't they tell him this?! Now he knows how
to more aggressively treat Dad for that particular problem.

Lots and lots of purrs for your dad and hugs for you and your mom, Jill,
Polonca and Soncek
