This Can't Be Happening.

A few days back my Opa (Grandpa) took a fall while getting into bed, his senior home phoned the paramedics and they helped him get back into bed. Nothing was broken, he wasn't bleeding, or in any pain. All was well.. until thenext morning. He woke up like usual, but something was much different. He physically was not able to get out of bed. He could not move his legs. So the EMTS were called back.. and my stubborn Oma (Grandma) refused that they take him to the hospital as my Aunt would be there within the hour to take them to a doctors appointment. The doctor diagnosed him with having a severe bladder infection. We all found this quite odd as his fever was high, he physically could not walk and was very shaky. But okay, illnesses effect seniors in strange ways.

Well, as of yesterday (Tuesday) Opa was much worse. He had a very congested chest, watching him move was like watching something in slow motion. It literally took him two minutes to move his arm from his waist to his face, and he was still shaky, feverish and so weak the man could hardly hold his head up. So last night the ambulance was called again. This time the paramedics were terrible! They didn't want to take him and wanted to give everyone attitude about the long wait at the hospital, etc. Family demanded he be taken to the hospital.

At this point tests are still being completed but he's been diagnosed with a blood stream infection and pneumonia. We're still waiting for heart tests and some other serious of tests to be completed before we'll be able to fully understand what is going on. He's still in emergency so no one other than his wife and children are allowed into the room to visit. He will likely stay in Emerg. until all of the tests are done. I hope he's able to be put into an actual room soon so I can go be with him.. even for a short while just to see how he is and be there for support.

It's been a very rough week and I hope it gets better soon. I need Opa to feel better and be able to come home from the hospital. It's so hard and stressful I don't even know what to do with myself. I'm angry at the first doctor for not testing far enough to find out what was really wrong. All in all... my heart hurts.
