Dec 26, 2011 Update on Dad

Hope you all had a Merry Christmas. We missed you.

When we went to breakfast on Dad’s birthday he wasn’t wearing his hearing aids. He said it was because his ears were bothering him. Tom tried to call his ear doctor from the restaurant, but she was gone for the holiday. Dad seemed a little down and we attributed it to him not being able to take part in any conversations.

That night at his house, he again looked a little down. The house was nice and festive and he had the dinner going. You all spoke with him and probably noticed he was distracted.

On Christmas morning Tom called and said Dad ears were bothering him so much he really didn’t want to come over. Tom convinced him to go to emergency were they diagnosed an ear infection and prescribed some antibiotics. Dad did go over to Tom’s for a good Christmas meal. Dad will see his regular ear doctor on Tuesday. I haven’t spoken with Tom or Dad and I don’t know if he is feeling better today.

We have plans to have Dad’s anemia and kidneys checked in January. We’re not sure what options will be available, but we need to get a status update. We will do our best to keep you updated.

Love you all,

John

  1. According to Dr Rose's office notes, this ear infection was in Dad's right ear.
