The week we wish that wasn't

Early Saturday morning my Dad arrived by ambulance to Clovis Hospital.

After spending all day in their ER,
he was transferred by ambulance to Fresno Hospital so a neurosurgeon could look at him.

Neurosurgeon says he is not a good candidate for surgery
so by ambulance he is sent back to Clovis Hospital.

Tuesday he was then sent by ambulance to San Joaquin Rehab Center.

Thursday morning he was sent back by ambulance to Clovis Hospital where he spent over 12 hours in their ER.

Last night he was sent back to Fresno Hospital by ambulance for yet another neurosurgeon to see him.
He and Susan spent over 12 hours (and counting!) in their ER waiting to be admitted.

So that's where he is now, and we still don't know what they are going to do about his fractured back. 
It's been a nightmare.
Could there be a harder week of my Dad's life? I don't think so.

Susan has been our angel. She dearly loves him, and won't hardly leave his side.

Update at noon: They are prepping Dad for surgery.

Hi Jay!
My Dad had one of those done nearly 2 weeks ago but for some reason it didn't work. So we're hoping this one does. btw, thank you for your nice phone message the other day! I think we were at the hospital.

I've been away, so I'm reading your posts backwards. This sounds like a nightmare!
