We put my dad in an Alzheimer's treatment facility a few weeks ago. His wife had a heart attack on Memorial Day and had to be hospitalized. She had open heart surgery about two weeks ago. I've been trying to get status updates but the hospital can't release info without a passcode and I never thought to get one from her daughter.
I just got a text from her daughter in response to my asking about how she's doing since she's still in ICU (two and a half weeks after surgery.) She had a triple bypass (which I knew) but she's also subsequently had two strokes and has a trach inserted. She's been trying to pull the trach out and it's going to be a long road to recovery.
T&P for her recovery. T&P for my dad would be welcome but he's not going to recover. He's late stages and bedridden. T&P for my dad would be for peace and rest and good health and to know he is loved.
I'll keep your family in my thoughts. Alzheimer's sucks, but I hope your father is comfortable and at peace. And that your stepmom has a good recovery.
We went through something similar when my grandfather had quadruple bypass surgery. But they didn't know he had the strokes until about a month and a half later. He had a lot of rehab and a speech therapist come at least once a week. About a year later he was pretty much back to normal.
