Dad seems to have taken a turn for the worse in the last 2 days and is very unsteady on his feet and is getting quite confused. He needs help to walk anywhere as he is at serious risk of falling if he's left on his own. Craig is still here and Becky came home from work to be here with him also. It is a 2 man job if anyone is to get any rest at all. He is up numerous times a night and wakes up every hour or so. 

He had his blood drawn today and his numbers were fine, although his platelets a bit low so we are looking to get him a transfusion this afternoon. We will also try to get him over to the ER to have him checked out since there's not a good reason for the weakness and confusion. If he is o.k. to travel, we are also going to try to talk him into going back down to UCSF to get re-admitted. He is not safe at home and he needs more expert care than we can manage here.
