Hi all,
Thanks for the replies. My father is being treated at Kaiser in Redwood City, ca. Things have gone from bad to worse since my last post. Dad was sent home yesterday because his vitals were "normal". He has had horrible uncontrollable diarea for 2 days now. Blood in his stool and hemroids. He is drinking nutrin 2.0 500 calories each can and they requested him to drink 4 per day. As well as water. He also has thrush in his mouth. My sister came yesterday from Santa Rosa to take him to live with her. A nurse came out to the house today to check on him and will be back on Friday. He's forcing the Nutrin down but it's very hard for him. I just can't believe they sent him home in this condition for us to handle. I too requested a peg to be put in at the very start of this journey. The surgeon looked at me like I was stupid or something. He said it would be dealt with if needed. We have been suffering with him every day and the radiologist at Sequoia hospital Redwood City also seemed to ignore our concerns. Everybody acts like all of this is normal procedure and "what's the big deal" attitude. I am over the top upset and am filing a complaint at Kaiser but the bottom line is my dad. We are going to get a second opinion. If anyone of you know a good Dr. to reccomend please let me know.
Thanks
