Father watch

I got a call from my family with news that my father wasn’t doing well. The doctor, when asked if I should come down, said “definitely”. That is not a good sign.
He is bleeding internally. A lot. He has ulcers in his stomach and sores all along his intestine. The doctors put him on a complete diet. He wasn’t allowed any food and only got nutrients intravenously; They didn’t want his stomach producing acid. They really aren’t sure what is going on with him.
Today they decided to let him eat again and that seems to have helped a lot. He was practically inhaling food. Apparently he is more alert and, I don’t know what this means, his hemoglobin count is climbing. So I think he is getting better.
I went directly to the hospital from Edmonton and spent an hour with him before I let him go to sleep. So I think he is doing better, but things have changed overnight before.
