Thank you all.
I wanted to update.
They ended up moving him to ICU. He woke up vomitting and vomitted profusely (Bile) for a day and a half.
They said his bowels and intestines had become paralyzed from the infection.
The doctor said it was kind of a spiral; infection plus diabetes shutting down the intestines, etc..
He is now on some type of medication they gave chemo patients to stop the vomitting- and even WITH that, he is still vomitting every few hours.
BUT, he was talking when I called to check earlier and sounded pretty okay.
My dad is a fighter. We laugh and call him "lazarus" because he has literally been on his death bed about 20 times in the past 4 years.
It was not meningitis by the way. They are still trying to figure out what the infectino is.
His temp is at 102 right now..
So I'll keep you posted.
Thanks for the thoughts and prayers.
