Dad's been sick

Dad wanted KFC for the 2nd time last week on Thursday night. He ate 2 pieces. Friday morning he threw up. They thought it was the greasy chicken. He only peed a little on Friday and it was full of blood. Chantal called the nurse, who came almost immediately. The nurse said it was a kidney infection and had the dr. call in a bunch of meds. She told Mom to go to Cosco and get the meds. and 2 gallons of cranberry juice, which she did. Yesterday morning Mom got up and Dad and his bed were covered in vomit. It took her and Chantal both to get Dad and the bed cleaned up and give Dad a bath. I asked her how Dad felt and she said "not good". I asked if he was nauseous. She said no (how would she know?) She said she tried to give him cranberry juice and he tried to take a swat at her. I said, "Oh, he's feeling out of sorts." and she said yes. 10:15 a.m. Sunday - just called Mom and asked about Dad. She said they were just debating on whether to wake him up for a bath or let him sleep. I said I would let him sleep and then a bath when he wakes up will probably help him to feel better. She agreed. She's wishy washy about coming up today. I told her to call me when Dad wakes up.
