This morning my mother called while I was sleeping and spoke to my husband Mark on the phone. She stated that my father had fallen again and the fall was on the steps to the back entrance of their Florida home. Dad fell down the steps onto the brick stones of the patio, he hit the back of his head. Which has an open stop to his skull due to the Infection he had previously to the metal plate that Mayo Clinic had in his skull to cover the spot of bone that they had removed to perform the Brain Surgery, Dad developed a reaction to the metal so, that had to be removed, leaving this part of the brain unprotected. Apparently this fall had occured a few days ago, my mom stated that Dad had been in bed for a few days, and she felt he was not doing so good this morning.
Lots of phone calls later, to my brothers, my sister-in-law Lynn, my son-in-law Mark, my daughter, my dad's cousin Howard, Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville... And I am a nervous wreck!!!
My dad's cousin Howard, went over to my parents house to check on the condition of my father after the phone call I made to Howard. Howard called me from my parents house... said "your dad is in bad condition", and "the ambulance and fire dept. just left with my dad and they were bringing him to the Hospital". Howard also stated that my dad did not recognize Howard at first, until Howard told him who he was. This is not good... my dad and Howard are close.
It's been about 4 hours now... and I still haven't heard any news.
Munroe Regional Medical Center in Ocala, Florida is where they brought my father....
352-351-7200
is their main phone line.
I don't have any information on his condition as of yet... waiting to hear from someone down there ... if I don't hear anything in a few hours... I will call.
I am thinking they are running tests and procedures on him before they will get him set up in a room.
