update...
He called an ambulance and had his father brought to the hospital. He's got the geriatric trifecta - pneumonia/dehydration/urinary tract infection. Ernie has to make a decision tommorow to treat him agressively and be back again in about 2 weeks with another bout of pneumonia or to send him home with nursing care or put him on hospice.
We don't have the money to pay for hospice as it is not covered by his insurance, but nurses in the home are.
Check please...

That sucks that his insurance doesn't pay for hospice. This health care system we have sucks balls. Just doesn't sound like a good situation at all. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. (((((hugs)))))
