Dad was discharged from the hospital yesterday. Whew! I had yesterday off from work and stopped by the hospital early on in the afternoon. I could already tell he didn't want to be there anymore, but from what the nurse had told me they still needed a doctor to look at his MRI and EEG and so they probably wouldn't be discharging him until Tuesday. As I was getting ready to leave the doctor came in and gave us the biggest surprise by saying she was going to put in the paper work to discharge him that day. Dad was so funny, he reached out with his left hand, grabbed the doctor's hands and said, "Thank you." Several hours later he was home.
It does appear he had a seizure. Going forward it will be another med he will now have to take. The nice thing about this anti-convulsive medicine is it doesn't require regular monitoring like blood thinners and does not interact negatively with the blood thinner he is on now, something apparently most of the anti-convulsive meds do, causing liver damage. All good things, all good news. And we carry on...
