Back in the Hospital

Yesterday at the rehab hospital, while my Dad was alone in his room, he tried to get out of bed without assistance. My brother-in-law Andrew found him on the floor, with a bruise above his eye and some cuts elsewhere. We don't know how long Dad was out of bed before Andrew's arrival, but my sister left 2-1/2 hours previous to the discovery. We're talking to the rehab hospital to see when Dad was last seen by an aide or nurse.

After being checked out in the emergency room, Dad was found to have a UTI and low blood pressure, but no broken bones (thank goodness). He was admitted to the hospital, and we're waiting to hear today how he's doing. He's not in pain, and slept peacefully last night.
