Dad got his bloodwork today and needed more platelets again. After his transfusion, he went home and took a very long, very hard 3 hour nap. When he woke up, he was apparently not all that steady on his feet and his mental and verbal skills had taken a dive. Becky had gone to work since Craig and Doug were home to take care of him, and she did not like what she saw, so they took him to the ER to get checked out.

He's at the ER now and the doctors are ordering blood tests and a cat scan to see what's going on. Craig will text me as any new information comes in. I'll update the blog in the morning with any news.

I'm thinking we'll be needing to take him back to UCSF sooner rather than later as his condition is worsening. Strange, since they took him off of the Ativan and he hadn't had any dilaudid since this morning. There was no good reason for him to be so unsteady and confused.
